Fireworks concert Thursday, 3 September 2009

The Edinburgh International Festival ends this weekend and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra will be playing at the traditional end of festival fireworks concert.

Have you ever wondered how the fireworks are timed to match the music? Me too! But, I’ve found out this year – because one of our composers, Michael Ferguson, is working on it. During the performance he’ll be following the score and calling out cues so that the pyrotechnician can set off the fireworks at the right time.

To find out all about it, read the interview with Michael on page 7 of the concert programme.
