We welcome two distinguished members of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra: Peter Whelan, who will direct a Baroque style programme, and Rosie Staniforth who returns to play the Bach Oboe Concerto (replacing the originally programmed Mozart K314 because it aligns better with the character of the rest of the programme). Peter Whelan's musicianship is inspirational and the orchestra is particularly privileged to be performing with him in the final concert of the season.

The originally programmed two premieres by Alfredo Capponetto and John de Simone are now to be played in a future concert, this move is for orchestration reasons.
