This week, Ludovic Morlot returns to conduct the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra in concerts at Glasgow City Halls and Perth Concert Hall.

Joined by pianist Elisabeth Leonskaja, Ludovic conducts a program of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No.24 in C minor and Thamos, King of Egypt, closing with Sibelius’ Symphony No.2 in D major.

Ludovic’s return comes after his successful concerts with the orchestra in February 2024, where he conducted Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No.2 with Boris Giltburg, alongside works by Puccini, Tchaikovsky, and a new work by Roxanna Panufnik. 

 “Ludovic Morlot … struck a rapport with the SSO that was so natural and flowing you’d have thought they were meant for each other. … It was clear from Morlot’s intense concentration that he, too, was prepared for the unexpected. Such a duelling sense of danger added significantly to the theatre of the performance.””
