For the wonderful concertante HSO is lucky to have violinist Laura Samuels and violist Scott Dickinson as soloists. Laura is the leader of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra where Scott is principal viola and soloist with them. Both are also prestigious chamber players currently  with the renowned Nash ensemble.
La Mer is a deeply moving impressionistic evocation of the sea which Debussy composed in Eastbourne in 1905 and which he described as symphonic sketches. To tie in with this work Gavin Pretor-Pinney, founder of the Cloud Appreciation Society, author and science communicator, will give a talk before the concert.
