Explore music with a Scottish flair as conductor Garry Walker leads the Asheville Symphony Orchestra (ASO) on Saturday, February 10, at 8 p.m. at Thomas Wolfe Auditorium. The concert, Masterworks 4: Scot Free<\/em>, will include Arnold\u2019s Four Scottish Dances<\/em>, Debussy\u2019s Marche \u00e9cossaise (Scottish March), Bruch\u2019s Violin Concerto No. 1, with guest violinist Elena Urioste, and Mendelssohn\u2019s Symphony No. 3, Scottish<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cLandscape, poetry, humor, the character of the Scots and a certain Celtic mysticism are all elements which pervade the works,\u201d says Walker. \u201cI am sure they are qualities that an American audience will recognize and enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The evening opens with Malcolm Arnold\u2019s 1957 composition Four Scottish Dances<\/em>, originally composed for a BBC Light Music Festival. Though the piece strongly suggests Scottish folk song origins, three of the dances were created by Arnold and the fourth is based on a melody composed by Scottish poet Robert Burns.<\/p>\n

Second on the program is Debussy\u2019s Marche \u00e9cossaise<\/em>, commissioned by a Scottish general in 1891. The work, which includes some of Debussy\u2019s own French musical style, uses an oboe and muted trumpet to imitate the sound of bagpipes.<\/p>\n

Next, guest soloist Elena Urioste joins the symphony for Bruch\u2019s Violin Concerto No. 1. Urioste was a BBC New Generation Artist from 2012 to 2014 and a first-place laureate in both the Junior and Senior divisions of the Sphinx Competition. She has given acclaimed performances with major orchestras throughout the United States and abroad.<\/p>\n

The evening closes with Mendelssohn\u2019s Symphony No. 3, Scottish<\/em>, which the composer was inspired to write during a visit to Scotland in 1829. The symphony evokes the wild landscapes of the Scottish Highlands and the sounds of Scottish folk songs.<\/p>\n

\u201cMendelssohn\u2019s Symphony is clearly inspired by his extensive visit and stay,\u201d says Walker. \u201cI can say, as a Scot, that he must have been deeply influenced by what he experienced. The second and third movements in particular feel very Scottish in their mood and particularly in their colors\u2014quite unlike anything else he wrote.\u201d<\/p>\n

Walker is the third of six finalists for the ASO\u2019s music director position to conduct an audition concert. The audience will be asked to give feedback via a survey after the performance. The three remaining finalists will conduct concerts in March, April and May.<\/p>\n
