Petroc Trelwany presents a performance given at Glasgow's City Halls, the first of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra's Mendelssohn bicentenary celebrations which puts the composer in the company of others who inspired him and those he himself influenced.

Two youthful works bookend this concert: Mendelssohn's Overture to A Midsummer Night's Dream is one of the most celebrated pieces by a teenager; Saint-Saens' Symphony in A was a 15-year-old's ambitious attempt at a serious Teutonic-style symphony. In between, soprano Kate Royal sings Berlioz's song-cycle.
