Mendelssohns Scottish Symphony Concert Tickets

Experience the symphony written by a composer trying to capture the spirit of a country with Mendelssohn's Scottish Symphony tickets. Jakob Ludwig Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, born in 1809 as Felix Mendelssohn, was a German composer, pianist and conductor. While visiting Britain, Mendelssohn took a walking tour of Scotland with his friend and was inspired to write his Symphony No. 3 in A minor, Op. 56, better known as the Scottish Symphony.

Mendelssohn had successfully performed several times in Britain in 1829 and decided to explore the country along with his friend Karl Klingerman. He was visiting Edinburgh when he visited the ruins of Holyrood Chapel at Holyrood Palace. The roofless chapel and overgrown altar gave him an idea. He related this idea in a letter to his family, along with some music transcribed that would end up included in the opening theme.

Listen to the work inspired by an amazing country with Mendelssohn's Scottish Symphony tickets. His visit to Scotland also inspired Mendelssohn to compose the overture The Hebrides. However, he struggled with the main symphony and put it aside for several years, finally finishing the piece in 1842. It should be noted Mendelssohn never mentioned that the trip to Scotland inspired the symphony.  

The symphony itself was written in four movements, the first being dark and stormy, followed by a short and lively second. The third movement is slow and tense, and the fourth and final movement borrows from Scottish dance and is quite lively. The piece premiered at the Leipzig Gewandhaus in 1842.
