Scottish Inspirations

Thomas Dausgaard conducts music by Helen Grime, Sally Beamish, Jay Capperauld and Peter Maxwell Davies for the 91Èȱ¬ Scottish Symphony Orchestra's Scottish Inspirations season.

'Scottish Inspirations' showcases the work of composers inspired by Scotland and Scottish identity and the series is the idea of Thomas Dausgaard, the 91Èȱ¬ Scottish Symphony Orchestra's new Chief Conductor.
