ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Scottish Symphony Orchestra
The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Scottish SO play music by Sibelius, Helen Grime, Hanna Tuulikki and Jonathan Harvey.
Founded in 1935, the Glasgow-based ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Scottish Symphony Orchestra has long-championed new music, forming a reputation for performances of Sibelius's music (acknowledged by the composer himself) as early as the 30s. The Sibelius connection, which continues to this day, was enhanced by an acclaimed series of concerts and recordings made with Finnish conductor Osmo Vänskä, Chief Conductor 1996-2002.
The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ SSO continues to nurture close relationships with living composers and one of its most important relationships was with Jonathan Harvey who was the orchestra's Composer in Association for three years from 2005. The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ SSO has also been at the heart of Tectonics, Glasgow's annual cutting-edge new music festival, begun by its Chief Conductor from 2003-2009, Ilan Volkov.
