Meet Max

  • Dougie Walker

Introducing the Scottish Chamber Orchestra's new principal conductor, Maxim Emelyanychev. We met up with him as he prepared for his debut performance of Haydn’s The Seasons at the Usher Hall.

Maxim Emelyanychev is the SCO’s newly appointed principal conductor and having seen our Advice films for St Mary’s Music School, the SCO wanted us to create a similarly styled character profile to help introduce Max. We decided from the start that the film would focus on the preparations in the lead up to the orchestra’s performance of Haydn’s The Seasons at the Usher Hall, providing us with the ideal opportunity to get behind the scenes and observe the orchestra, chorus, soloists and Max working closely together.
