Scottish Chamber Orchestra - Melodies and
Miracles
Younger Hall Byre Theatre, St Andrews
Haydn Scena di Berenice Stravinsky Apollon Musagète Fauré
Melodies (orch. world premiere C. Matthews) SCO commission Haydn
Symphony No 96 ‘Miracle’
Robin Ticciati Conductor Sally Matthews Soprano
A heart-warming richness gives Sally Matthews’ voice the special
star quality that makes her the soprano of choice for maestros
the world over. With Ticciati, she brings Haydn’s scena – a
touch of operatic high drama to match Stravinsky’s dance – then
follows it with Fauré’s heartbreaking, melancholy songs in new
orchestrations from Colin Matthews commissioned by the SCO. As
for the Haydn… the name says it all: truly, this symphony is a
miracle – one of his very finest.
Pre-concert talk: 6.30pm (free to ticket holders) Robin Ticciati
in conversation with Dr Michael Downes about the music in this
evening’s concert. Ticket Prices: £19,50; £16,50;

Funny: Don't Make me Laugh by Tim Nunn Directed by Katherine
Morley
The Byre Theatre - AB Paterson Auditorium
You shouldn't laugh. You don't want to laugh. But you do
laugh. Your jaws ache and your eyes water. This is comedy. Why
do we laugh? What is it in us that boils up and takes over. It
feels so good but why does it happen? When it shouldn't happen –
auntie’s funeral, colleagues wedding, first meal with in-laws –
why is it impossible to control? Laughter can hurt. Humour
is power
'Funny' is a terrifying and shocking story based on real reports
from secret places, and the closer it gets to the truth the less
you're going to believe it. You shouldn't be here. You don't
want to be here. But you are here. Your body aches and your eyes
water. This is interrogation.

Maggie Brodie thought she'd left teaching behind her.
Retired twice, once with a dishonourable discharge, she's been

London. It's going to be a tough shift. A day of battles with
her thirst for booze; with the soft soap headmaster and lastly
with Rosie. Rosie is six and a new intake. Tough enough. But
made tougher by the fact that Rosie is from Somalia and refusing
to speak. She will not speak. But to Maggie's surprise silent
Rosie stirs something in her long forgotten. Something about her
past, her family, her ego. Ticket Prices: £14 (£12/£10) BUY
