Composer/conductor Sir James MacMillan brings a program of fervor and fire, starting with Rimsky-Korsakov’s Russian Easter Overture. Then MacMillan’s own The World’s Ransoming turns inward, lamenting through the SLSO’s Cally Banham and her English horn. Grammy-winning violinist Nicola Benedetti, who has “passion and energy to compete with the best” (The Observer, London), performs MacMillan’s reeling Violin Concerto.
