Ayrshire, UK: The Ayr Town Hall is all set to resonate with the melodies of celebrated New Cumnock composer Jay Capperauld as he unveils his latest masterpiece, “The Origin of Colour.”
This prestigious World Premiere performance marks the opening of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra’s 50th-anniversary concert season. Under the skilled baton of Principal Conductor Maxim Emelyanychev, the event promises to be a musical extravaganza.
As per the Sources, the concert is scheduled for Wednesday, October 4th, at 7:30 pm. It is the inaugural instalment of the 35th Ayr Concert Series, meticulously organized by the dedicated volunteers of the Ayr Arts Guild. Remarkably, this year holds double significance for Ayr Arts Guild, as they, too, are celebrating their Golden Jubilee.
The concert program is nothing short of spectacular, featuring Bruch’s mesmerizing Double Concerto for Clarinet and Viola, followed by the grand finale, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3, known as the ‘Eroica.’
Music enthusiasts can secure their tickets at 2019 prices, available through The Gaiety box office (Tel: 01292 288 235). Ticket categories include Circle: Adults £25.00, Stalls: Adults £20.00, Students, Under 26s, unemployed £6.00, and under 18s £3.00.
Notably, the ticket prices have been subsidized by Destination South Ayrshire, Ayr Arts Guild, and the Scottish Children’s Lottery Trust. In a remarkable gesture, to celebrate the dual Golden Jubilees, 100 young musicians and their parents or carers have been extended complimentary invitations to witness a live professional orchestral performance—a first-time experience for many.
This heartwarming initiative is made possible through collaborative efforts with the South Ayrshire Council Instrumental Music Service.
For those eager to be part of this musical celebration, limited tickets may be available at the door. As the stage is set and anticipation builds, Ayr prepares to welcome the 50th anniversary concert season with open arms, embracing the rich cultural heritage that has flourished over the years.
