Superstar cellist Inbal Segev then takes center stage, performing DANCE, a concerto by Anna Clyne written specifically for her, which blends passionate lyricism with dramatic emotion. The evening culminates with Mendelssohn’s Scottish Symphony, a sweeping work filled with evocative melodies and breathtaking beauty, capturing the essence of the Scottish landscape and its emotional depth.
