Hello and welcome to highlights of a very special concert, | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
featuring the Simon Bolivar Symphony Orchestra, | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
recorded here in Stirling. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
The concert, which will be conducted by the international maestro, | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
Gustavo Dudamel, represents musical history, | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
as it's set in the heart of the Raploch community, | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
that's gone through some tough times. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:22 | |
Tonight's concert is a celebration of how music | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
can transform lives. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
It was four years ago that Big Noise became the first branch | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
of El Sistema in the UK. It's a visionary | 0:00:30 | 0:00:34 | |
Venezuelan music scheme that improves the quality of life | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
for children by immersing them in music making from an early age. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
It's also the project that nurtured | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
the musicians of the Simon Bolivar Symphony Orchestra | 0:00:42 | 0:00:46 | |
and its most famous son, Gustavo Dudamel. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
And now, a chance to hear some of the fruits | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
of Sistema Scotland's hard work, | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
with the Rondo from Abdelazar, written by the English composer | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
Henry Purcell in 1695. Here is the Big Noise Orchestra, | 0:00:57 | 0:01:01 | |
with some players as young as six, | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
all of them from Raploch, | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
conduced by their patron, Gustavo Dudamel, | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
giving it their best shot. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:03:02 | 0:03:06 | |
A sterling performance by the youngsters of Big Noise, | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
led by Gustavo Dudamel. This really is an experience | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
they will surely remember for a very long time to come. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
Now, another piece performed during the first half of tonight's concert. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:30 | |
Beethoven's Egmont overture, | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
written in 1787 as music for Goethe's play of the same name. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
This time, members of the Big Noise Orchestra | 0:03:35 | 0:03:39 | |
are joined by the Simon Bolivar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela, | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
conduced by Gustavo Dudamel. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
SUSTAINED CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:03:44 | 0:03:48 | |
And before that performance, a surprise gift | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
from the members of the Simon Bolivar Symphony Orchestra | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
to the young local musicians joining them tonight. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:05 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:13:05 | 0:13:10 | |
A great reaction from the audience, | 0:13:16 | 0:13:18 | |
including maestro Abreu, from Venezuela, | 0:13:18 | 0:13:21 | |
the founder of the Sistema programme. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 | |
Also in the audience, many proud parents, watching their children | 0:13:30 | 0:13:33 | |
perform with one of the world's greatest orchestras, | 0:13:33 | 0:13:37 | |
here in Raploch. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:38 | |
Well, the children from Big Noise have packed away their instruments | 0:13:40 | 0:13:44 | |
and, along with their families, are settling down now to enjoy | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
some more fantastic world-class music. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
The stage has been specially built for tonight's concert | 0:13:49 | 0:13:52 | |
and when Dudamel offered to bring the orchestra across, | 0:13:52 | 0:13:55 | |
Sistema Scotland chose this site, in the heart of the community, | 0:13:55 | 0:13:58 | |
rather than a concert hall. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:00 | |
As well as a strong local crowd, everybody here is welcoming | 0:14:00 | 0:14:03 | |
Gustavo Dudamel, who is conducting the Simon Bolivar Orchestra's | 0:14:03 | 0:14:07 | |
performance of Beethoven's Symphony No. 3, the Eroica. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:10 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:14:14 | 0:14:18 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:34:47 | 0:34:50 | |
APPRECIATIVE WHISTLES | 0:34:52 | 0:34:56 | |
MUSIC: "Third Symphony (Eroica), Third Movement" by Beethoven | 0:35:01 | 0:35:05 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:52:42 | 0:52:46 | |
Now, we're coming to, not the finale, | 0:52:46 | 0:52:49 | |
but no performance from the Simon Bolivar Symphony Orchestra | 0:52:49 | 0:52:52 | |
and Gustavo Dudamel would be complete | 0:52:52 | 0:52:55 | |
without the show-stopping piece | 0:52:55 | 0:52:57 | |
which is the Mambo from Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story. | 0:52:57 | 0:53:00 | |
The Mambo, you might remember, | 0:53:00 | 0:53:02 | |
is one of the dances at the gym from act one of West Side Story. | 0:53:02 | 0:53:05 | |
It represents a kind of dance-off between the Sharks and the Jets, | 0:53:05 | 0:53:08 | |
the two rival gangs from New York | 0:53:08 | 0:53:10 | |
featured in Bernstein's and Sondheim's 20th-Century musical, | 0:53:10 | 0:53:13 | |
inspired, of course, by Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet - | 0:53:13 | 0:53:17 | |
in West Side Story, Tony and Maria. | 0:53:17 | 0:53:20 | |
Mambo! | 0:53:58 | 0:54:01 | |
Mambo! | 0:54:13 | 0:54:14 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:55:29 | 0:55:31 | |
The Mambo. Leonard Bernstein's Mambo from West Side Story. | 0:55:39 | 0:55:42 | |
Of course, how else would you end a concert like this in Scotland | 0:56:03 | 0:56:06 | |
but with Auld Lang Syne, albeit with a Venezuelan twist? | 0:56:06 | 0:56:10 | |
Robert Burns' international song of friendship. | 0:56:10 | 0:56:13 | |
MUSIC: "Auld Lang Syne" by Robert Burns (music: trad.) | 0:56:15 | 0:56:19 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:58:13 | 0:58:16 | |
