Beethoven, Pekka & Dreamers’ Circus

As the show begins and the three major components, Pekka Kuusisto, Dreamers’ Circus and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, take their place, Kuusisto jokes about a rushed rehearsal time and remarks “Chances are it is going to work quite well”… A prediction that is certainly realised by the end of the work. From the start we are treated to a relaxed tone, with no pretension or hierarchy. This is simply a night of talented musicians celebrating music that they love.
