Schubert                 Unfinished Symphony
Haydn                       Trumpet Concerto (soloist Alan Haggart)
John McLeod        Prelude, Easter Carol and Finale from Machar – Portrait of a Saint
Mozart                      Symphony No 40 in G minor

As this concert falls on Remembrance Sunday, Aberdeen Sinfonietta, under the baton of its principal conductor, Garry Walker, is taking the opportunity to dedicate the concert to the victims of war, with special reference of course to the conflict in Ukraine.  The orchestra is also paying tribute to the Aberdeen-born composer John McLeod, who died earlier this year, by performing some movements from the suite Machar – Portrait of a Saint, which the orchestra commissioned from him in 2000.  The soloist in Haydn’s deservedly popular Trumpet Concerto will be Aberdeen Sinfonietta’s own outstanding principal trumpet Alan Haggart.
