Regrettably, Nicola Benedetti has withdrawn from her performance in Aberdeen, due to injury. The RSNO is extremely grateful to Noa Wildschut for stepping in to perform Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto, in place of Mark Simpson’s Violin Concerto.

Fantastique by name, fantastic by nature! When Hector Berlioz couldn’t win the girl of his dreams he poured all his unrequited passion into this opium-fuelled extravaganza for a super-sized orchestra. There’s nothing quite like it – but equally there’s nothing quite like the passionate, neglected music of his French contemporary Augusta Holmès or Mendelssohn’s beautiful Violin Concerto, performed by the stunning violinist Noa Wildschut
