The world premiere of James MacMillan’s second violin concerto has been scheduled for Perth in the north of Scotland at the end of next month. MacMillan is Scotland’s most successful composer. The soloist is Nicola Benedetti, incoming director of the Edinburgh Festival.

The concerto will then make its way quietly to Edinburgh and Glasgow (where London newspapers will fail to send a reviewer), before galloping off on a world tour to Dallas, St Louis, Sweden, Poland and all other points of the compass.

Funny how things get launched these days.
