The Scottish Chamber Orchestra delivers a concert of Mozart classics at Glenmoriston Millennium Hall on Saturday 16 June.

Directed by SCO Associate Artist Alexander Janiczek, the Orchestra performs Mozart’s Symphony No 21, written when the composer was aged 16, and Symphony No 39, one of his great, last symphonies. The SCO’s Principal Horn Alec Frank-Gemmill is soloist in the Horn Concerto No 4 in E-flat. Rondo in B-flat completes the evening.

Alexander Janiczek has a close relationship with the SCO, having held the position of Leader with the Orchestra from 1999 to 2002. He has continued to be invited back as director and soloist on tours throughout Scotland and Europe, and in the recording studio.  He is the director on four CDs of music by Mozart which the SCO has recorded for Linn Records, and on a forthcoming release of Weber Wind Concertos. Janiczek was appointed Associate Artist with the Orchestra in December 2011.

Rising star Alec Frank-Gemmill is Principal Horn of the SCO and recently received rave reviews for his performances of Ligeti’s Hamburg Concerto during the Orchestra’s 2011/12 Season.

The Orchestra’s last appearance at Glenmoriston Millennium Hall was in the summer of 2004 and in July 2011, SCO Strings gave a hugely successful concert with violinist Isabelle van Keulen at the Craigmonie Centre in Drumnadrochit. This performance in Invermoriston forms part of the Orchestra’s 34th year of summer touring, and is also performed in Dunblane and Findhorn on 14 and 15 June. The SCO will also give concerts in Fortrose (SCO Strings, 22 June), Boat of Garten (SCO Wind & Brass, 22 June) Ullapool (SCO Strings, 23 June), Strathpeffer (SCO, 20 July) and Kingussie (SCO, 21 July).

The Scottish Chamber Orchestra receives funding from the Scottish Government. The Orchestra’s programme of summer touring is generously supported by the Misses Barrie Charitable Trust.
