exciting choreography and performance.
Dancing on the Dark Side
From tap to modern dance, lyrical to
contemporary.
From the pressing heat of the deep South to
the sharp autumnal wind of the Appalachian
trail, to the anxious hum of the metropolis…
Come with us on a journey through a North
American landscape, and an evening of music
rich with belief, fervour and visionary talent.
From the simmering cinematic joy of Philip
Glass’ Company to the ecstatic frenzy of John
Adams’ 21st-century masterpiece, Shaker
Loops, we descend, gently, into Copland’s
evocative, russet-toned depiction of a New
England landscape, performed complete with
clarinet, flute, bassoon and piano.

Come and Sing with
composer Paul Mealor
Singers from all parts of Scotland come
together to perform Gabriel Fauré’s muchloved Requiem, Handel’s majestic Zadok the
Priest and Paul Mealor's jubilate Deo.
Paul Mealor has been described as ‘the most
important composer to have emerged in
Welsh choral music since William Mathias’
(NewYork Times, 2001). Topping the Classical
Charts for six weeks with his bestselling
album, A Tender Light (featuring Tenebrae
Choir and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra)
in November 2011, he also broke records by
being the first classical composer to hold
both the classical and pop chart No1 at the
same time in December 2011, securing the UK
Christmas No 1 with his piece for The Military
Wives Choir and Gareth Malone.
In 2012, Mealor was voted the nation's
favourite living composer during the UK
Classic Hall of Fame.

Shane Filan
Right Here Tour 2016
RSNO Beethoven's
Emperor Concerto
In the wake of the huge success of his
Right Here tour in early 2016, which follows
on from the release of his hit album ‘Right
Here’ in 2015, Westlife frontman Shane Filan
has announced a second major UK tour in
October 2016.
Con brio means 'with brilliance', and that’s
exactly what British pianist Paul Lewis
will bring to Beethoven’s epic Emperor
Concerto – a stunning start to our Season
in Dundee. First, though, guest conductor
Cristian Măcelaru detonates Jörg Widmann’s
outrageous little spoof of Beethoven, and
unleashes the raw energy of Dvořák’s Seventh
Symphony. This tempestuous portrait of a
nation awakening to freedom packs a serious
emotional punch.
The Irish pop sensation will showcase
Westlife favourites as well as his own recent
tracks. Following Shane’s amazing success as
frontman with Westlife - one of the world’s
most successful bands of the last few decades
- the new tour dates promise to show just
why Shane is well loved in his own right.
Jörg Widmann - Con brio, Scottish premiere
Beethoven - Piano Concerto No5 Emperor
Dvořák - Symphony No7

Lennon Through
A Glass Onion
Following its Off-Broadway New York success,
this celebration of the genius and music of
John Lennon comes to Dundee.
10
Inspired by the song Glass Onion, which was
John Lennon’s postscript to The Beatles, this
show peels away the layers of time and myth
to offer clear insight into essence of the life
and astonishing talent of one of the world’s
most treasured icons.
Part-concert and part-biography, this twohander featuring West End star Daniel Taylor
showcases 31 hits of Lennon and Lennon/
McCartney including Imagine, Revolution
and Jealous Guy in a kaleidoscope collage of
song, word and emotion.

Sixties Gold
The Ultimate
5 Stars Line-Up
RSNO
Rachmaninov Three
Recommended by Classic FM.
Brian Poole & The Tremeloes the band that
broke the Liverpool stranglehold and went on
to have 21 hits that spent over 220 weeks in
the UK charts.
Deep in the Russian forests, a mysterious
breeze stirs the waters. When guest
conductor Eivind Gullberg Jensen works
his magic anything’s possible: whether
it’s Liadov’s old Russian fairy tales or
Rachmaninov’s glittering Third Symphony – a
song of longing for a lost world, with tunes
to die for and a big-band swing. Or, most
spectacular of all, the great Russian virtuoso
Nikolai Lugansky throwing everything he
has – and then some – at Prokofiev’s showstopping piano concertos.
Controversial, ponytailed P.J. Proby whose
trouser splitting shocked the nation, was
a Melody Maker teen idol award winner in
1964 and spent 91 weeks in the charts.
Liadov - The Enchanted Lake
Prokofiev - Piano Concerto No5
Prokofiev - Piano Concerto No1
Rachmaninov - Symphony No3
Wayne Fontana, originally from Manchester,
spent over 75 weeks in the British charts with
hits such as “Game Of Love”, “Um Um Um Um
Um” and “Pamela Pamela”.
Eivind Gullberg Jensen - Conductor
Nikolai Lugansky - Piano
Royal Scottish National Orchestra
For lovers of Sixties music, this is the
ultimate, and probably never to be repeated,
line-up. From Liverpool, where it all started,
and tipped to be as big as The Beatles, The
Searchers’ first single went to No1 and led to
five more Top 5 hits and a total of 128 weeks
in the charts.
Special Guest and direct from America,
Gary Puckett & Union Gap whose first single
“Young Girl” was also a UK No. 1.

Friday 4 November 7.30pm
Silent Movie Night
A unique opportunity to view two classic
silent films with Donald MacKenzie of the
Odeon, Leicester Square, London providing
the improvised organ accompaniment.
Featuring the 1911 film Dundee Courier - The
Production of a Great Daily Newspaper and
one of the most famous comedies of the
period, Harold Lloyd in Safety Last.
The 1911 film shows the complete process
of the daily newspaper with street scenes
of pre-Great War Dundee and sequences
including printing technology that has
since been superseded by the digital age.
September 2016 will mark the 200th
anniversary of the launch of the Courier.
The comedy is the famous Harold Lloyd
in Safety Last, in which our hero attempts
to impress his girlfriend by pretending to
enjoy status far above his lowly position
as a department store sales assistant. This
film includes the well-known scene in which
Lloyd dangles from a clock on the side of a
skyscraper above moving traffic.
Safety Last is recognised as one of the
greatest film comedies of the silent era.
Saturday 5 November 7.15pm
Festival of
Remembrance 2016
The traditional Festival, staged by the Royal
British Legion Scotland's Angus, Perthshire
and Fife Area, offers an opportunity to
remember and give thanks for the sacrifice of
those lost.
The Parade of National and Ex-Service
Standards and the Muster of Regular and
Reserve Forces, Cadets, Emergency Services
and ex-Service organisations is followed
by a musical programme and an Act of
Remembrance.
Featured are the Central Band of The Royal
British Legion Scotland, The Perth and District
Pipe Band, and vocalists Billy Naismith and
pop and jazz soprano Amy Hawthorn.
Compère is Peter Crawford, MBE, MStJ.

Beyond the Barricade
Dundee Symphony
Orchestra Autumn
Concert

Leeming and Rebecca Vere, together with
their own ensemble of talented musicians,
‘Beyond the Barricade’ features songs from
The Phantom of the Opera, Jesus Christ
Superstar, The Jersey Boys, The Lion King,
Blood Brothers, Miss Saigon and many
others, climaxing with a spectacular finale
from, of course, Les Misérables!
Andy Reiss and David Fawcett devised
‘Beyond the Barricade’ after appearing
in the Manchester and London casts of
Les Misérables.
Also on stage is Katie Leeming, who joined
Beyond the Barricade after playing the lead
role of Eponine in the West End production of
Les Misérables, and Rebecca Vere who played
Cosette in Les Misérables.
Don’t miss the return of ‘Beyond the
Barricade’ to experience its nationwide
reputation for quality and perfection in
musical theatre and find out why this exciting
show has received critical acclaim across the
UK and abroad.
Wagner - Flying Dutchman Overture
Tchaikovsky - Violin concerto in D Major
Brahms - Symphony No1
Tchaikovsky’s technically demanding and
much-loved violin concerto reunites DSO with
violinist Anna-Liisa Bezrodny in the Caird
Hall. Accompanying this is Wagner’s vivid
and turbulent Flying Dutchman Overture and
Brahms’ first symphony. Brahms struggled in
the shadow of Beethoven for nearly fifteen
years in writing this work. It was worth the
wait: with its lyricism and thematic unity,
this is widely regarded as one of the greatest
symphonies of the Austro-German tradition.

Wednesday 23 November 7.30pm
The Elvis Years
The Elvis Years is an outstanding musical
production which brings to the stage the
incredible and compelling story of the ‘king
of rock and roll’ - Elvis Presley.
With a top line-up of actor-musicians,
multiple costume changes and nostalgic film
footage, this glittering two-hour production
charts the musical and emotional highs and
lows of Hollywood and finally the legendary
Las Vegas concerts.
The lead role is perfectly portrayed by
Mario Kombou (from West End production
Jailhouse Rock).
14
This feelgood show will instantly transport
you back to the golden years of rock ’n’ roll,
as you witness Elvis audition for the very
first time at Sun Studios, then become part
of the TV audience for the '68 Comeback
Special, and finally at a Las Vegas concert as
Mario recreates with incredible accuracy the
charisma, stage presence and humour of the
man himself - you may even get your hands
on a scarf!
Taking in all the biggest hits including
Always On My Mind, That’s Alright Mama,
All Shook Up, Blue Suede Shoes, Suspicious
Minds, American Trilogy as well as Hollywood
favourites Bossa Nova Baby and Viva Las
Vegas, you will leave the building on cloud 9!!
