Approved

Unfailingly charming and breathtakingly expressive, François Leleux delivers profound musical insights and high drama as both oboist and conductor. His matinee programme with the SCO is one of discoveries, written entirely by teenage composers. SCO Principal Bassoon Cerys Ambrose-Evans is the soloist in the expressive, cheeky concerto that Mozart composed aged 18, while Richard Strauss blends influences from Mozart and Mendelssohn in the richly lyrical Serenade for 13 wind instruments he wrote as a 17-year-old. His passionate, powerful Symphony comes from a year earlier, but Georgian teenager Tsotne Zédginidze – born as recently as 2009 – has already been celebrated as a major musical prodigy.
