From the simmering cinematic joy of Philip Glass’ Company to the ecstatic frenzy of John Adams’ 21st-century masterpiece, Shaker Loops, we descend, gently, into Copland’s evocative, russet-toned depiction of a New England landscape, performed complete with clarinet, flute, bassoon and piano. 4 www.dundeebox.co.uk dundee city box office 01382 434940 Saturday 17 September 7pm Come and Sing with composer Paul Mealor Singers from all parts of Scotland come together to perform Gabriel Fauré’s muchloved Requiem, Handel’s majestic Zadok the Priest and Paul Mealor's jubilate Deo. Paul Mealor has been described as ‘the most important composer to have emerged in Welsh choral music since William Mathias’ (NewYork Times, 2001). Topping the Classical Charts for six weeks with his bestselling album, A Tender Light (featuring Tenebrae Choir and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra) in November 2011, he also broke records by being the first classical composer to hold both the classical and pop chart No1 at the same time in December 2011, securing the UK Christmas No 1 with his piece for The Military Wives Choir and Gareth Malone. In 2012, Mealor was voted the nation's favourite living composer during the UK Classic Hall of Fame.

Saturday 8 October 8pm Sean Lock Keep it Light Every three years the comedian Sean Lock writes and tours a new stand-up show. Well he's only gone and done it again! What's he like? Come and see what he's blithering on about this time. ‘He just lets the brilliance of his material dominate the room’ The Guardian ‘Lock at his best is gloriously intelligent, deliciously unlikely and hilariously funny’ The Times www.dundeebox.co.uk dundee city box office 01382 434940 7 Monday 10 October 2.30 & 7.30pm Tuesday 11 October 2.30pm The incomparable Chinese State Circus The internationally acclaimed Chinese State Circus returns in an innovatively spectacular new production – “Dynasty”. 30 world class Chinese acrobats, aerial artistes and jugglers interact with the super-human physical skills and dexterity of the masters of martial arts – the legendary Shaolin Warriors.

This latest production returns to the pure and honest perfection in acrobatics upon which their reputation is based, creating a show with: no gimmicks... no fakes… no retakes… quite simply... “The Incomparable Chinese State Circus.” 8 www.dundeebox.co.uk dundee city box office 01382 434940 Wed 12 October Doors open 6.30pm Thursday 13 October 7.30pm Shane Filan Right Here Tour 2016 RSNO Beethoven's Emperor Concerto In the wake of the huge success of his Right Here tour in early 2016, which follows on from the release of his hit album ‘Right Here’ in 2015, Westlife frontman Shane Filan has announced a second major UK tour in October 2016. Con brio means 'with brilliance', and that’s exactly what British pianist Paul Lewis will bring to Beethoven’s epic Emperor Concerto – a stunning start to our Season in Dundee. First, though, guest conductor Cristian Măcelaru detonates Jörg Widmann’s outrageous little spoof of Beethoven, and unleashes the raw energy of Dvořák’s Seventh Symphony. This tempestuous portrait of a nation awakening to freedom packs a serious emotional punch. The Irish pop sensation will showcase Westlife favourites as well as his own recent tracks. Following Shane’s amazing success as frontman with Westlife - one of the world’s most successful bands of the last few decades - the new tour dates promise to show just why Shane is well loved in his own right. Jörg Widmann - Con brio, Scottish premiere Beethoven - Piano Concerto No5 Emperor Dvořák - Symphony No7 Cristian Măcelaru - Conductor Paul Lewis - Piano Royal Scottish National Orchestra 6.45pm Pre-concert talk: Ursula Heidecker Allen (RSNO Violin) in conversation with Cristian Măcelaru f Pre-concert TALK 6.45pm www.dundeebox.co.uk dundee city box office 01382 434940 9 NOT TO BE MISSED Fri 14 & Sat 15 October 7.30pm Lennon Through A Glass Onion Following its Off-Broadway New York success, this celebration of the genius and music of John Lennon comes to Dundee. 10 Inspired by the song Glass Onion, which was John Lennon’s postscript to The Beatles, this show peels away the layers of time and myth to offer clear insight into essence of the life and astonishing talent of one of the world’s most treasured icons. Part-concert and part-biography, this twohander featuring West End star Daniel Taylor showcases 31 hits of Lennon and Lennon/ McCartney including Imagine, Revolution and Jealous Guy in a kaleidoscope collage of song, word and emotion. www.dundeebox.co.uk dundee city box office 01382 434940 Thursday 3 November 7.30pm f Pre-concert TALK 6.45pm Sixties Gold The Ultimate 5 Stars Line-Up RSNO Rachmaninov Three Recommended by Classic FM. Brian Poole & The Tremeloes the band that broke the Liverpool stranglehold and went on to have 21 hits that spent over 220 weeks in the UK charts. Deep in the Russian forests, a mysterious breeze stirs the waters. When guest conductor Eivind Gullberg Jensen works his magic anything’s possible: whether it’s Liadov’s old Russian fairy tales or Rachmaninov’s glittering Third Symphony – a song of longing for a lost world, with tunes to die for and a big-band swing. Or, most spectacular of all, the great Russian virtuoso Nikolai Lugansky throwing everything he has – and then some – at Prokofiev’s showstopping piano concertos. Controversial, ponytailed P.J. Proby whose trouser splitting shocked the nation, was a Melody Maker teen idol award winner in 1964 and spent 91 weeks in the charts. Liadov - The Enchanted Lake Prokofiev - Piano Concerto No5 Prokofiev - Piano Concerto No1 Rachmaninov - Symphony No3 Wayne Fontana, originally from Manchester, spent over 75 weeks in the British charts with hits such as “Game Of Love”, “Um Um Um Um Um” and “Pamela Pamela”. Eivind Gullberg Jensen - Conductor Nikolai Lugansky - Piano Royal Scottish National Orchestra For lovers of Sixties music, this is the ultimate, and probably never to be repeated, line-up. From Liverpool, where it all started, and tipped to be as big as The Beatles, The Searchers’ first single went to No1 and led to five more Top 5 hits and a total of 128 weeks in the charts. Special Guest and direct from America, Gary Puckett & Union Gap whose first single “Young Girl” was also a UK No. 1. © Marco Borggreve_NaaÔòá+óve-Ambroisie Saturday 29 October 7:30pm 6.45pm Pre-concert talk: Ursula Heidecker Allen (RSNO Violin) in conversation with Eivind Gullberg Jensen www.dundeebox.co.uk dundee city box office 01382 434940 11 Friday 4 November 7.30pm Silent Movie Night A unique opportunity to view two classic silent films with Donald MacKenzie of the Odeon, Leicester Square, London providing the improvised organ accompaniment. Featuring the 1911 film Dundee Courier - The Production of a Great Daily Newspaper and one of the most famous comedies of the period, Harold Lloyd in Safety Last. The 1911 film shows the complete process of the daily newspaper with street scenes of pre-Great War Dundee and sequences including printing technology that has since been superseded by the digital age. September 2016 will mark the 200th anniversary of the launch of the Courier. The comedy is the famous Harold Lloyd in Safety Last, in which our hero attempts to impress his girlfriend by pretending to enjoy status far above his lowly position as a department store sales assistant. This film includes the well-known scene in which Lloyd dangles from a clock on the side of a skyscraper above moving traffic. Safety Last is recognised as one of the greatest film comedies of the silent era. Saturday 5 November 7.15pm Festival of Remembrance 2016 The traditional Festival, staged by the Royal British Legion Scotland's Angus, Perthshire and Fife Area, offers an opportunity to remember and give thanks for the sacrifice of those lost. The Parade of National and Ex-Service Standards and the Muster of Regular and Reserve Forces, Cadets, Emergency Services and ex-Service organisations is followed by a musical programme and an Act of Remembrance. Featured are the Central Band of The Royal British Legion Scotland, The Perth and District Pipe Band, and vocalists Billy Naismith and pop and jazz soprano Amy Hawthorn. Compère is Peter Crawford, MBE, MStJ. supported by Special thanks to DC Thomson and the Courier. 12 www.dundeebox.co.uk dundee city box office 01382 434940 Thursday 10 November 7.30pm Saturday 19 November 7.30pm Beyond the Barricade Dundee Symphony Orchestra Autumn Concert Starring Andy Reiss, David Fawcett, Katie Leeming and Rebecca Vere, together with their own ensemble of talented musicians, ‘Beyond the Barricade’ features songs from The Phantom of the Opera, Jesus Christ Superstar, The Jersey Boys, The Lion King, Blood Brothers, Miss Saigon and many others, climaxing with a spectacular finale from, of course, Les Misérables! Andy Reiss and David Fawcett devised ‘Beyond the Barricade’ after appearing in the Manchester and London casts of Les Misérables. Also on stage is Katie Leeming, who joined Beyond the Barricade after playing the lead role of Eponine in the West End production of Les Misérables, and Rebecca Vere who played Cosette in Les Misérables. Don’t miss the return of ‘Beyond the Barricade’ to experience its nationwide reputation for quality and perfection in musical theatre and find out why this exciting show has received critical acclaim across the UK and abroad. Wagner - Flying Dutchman Overture Tchaikovsky - Violin concerto in D Major Brahms - Symphony No1 Tchaikovsky’s technically demanding and much-loved violin concerto reunites DSO with violinist Anna-Liisa Bezrodny in the Caird Hall. Accompanying this is Wagner’s vivid and turbulent Flying Dutchman Overture and Brahms’ first symphony. Brahms struggled in the shadow of Beethoven for nearly fifteen years in writing this work. It was worth the wait: with its lyricism and thematic unity, this is widely regarded as one of the greatest symphonies of the Austro-German tradition. Anna-Liisa Bezrodny - Violin Robert Dick - Conductor www.dundeebox.co.uk dundee city box office 01382 434940 13 Wednesday 23 November 7.30pm The Elvis Years The Elvis Years is an outstanding musical production which brings to the stage the incredible and compelling story of the ‘king of rock and roll’ - Elvis Presley. With a top line-up of actor-musicians, multiple costume changes and nostalgic film footage, this glittering two-hour production charts the musical and emotional highs and lows of Hollywood and finally the legendary Las Vegas concerts. The lead role is perfectly portrayed by Mario Kombou (from West End production Jailhouse Rock). 14 This feelgood show will instantly transport you back to the golden years of rock ’n’ roll, as you witness Elvis audition for the very first time at Sun Studios, then become part of the TV audience for the '68 Comeback Special, and finally at a Las Vegas concert as Mario recreates with incredible accuracy the charisma, stage presence and humour of the man himself - you may even get your hands on a scarf! Taking in all the biggest hits including Always On My Mind, That’s Alright Mama, All Shook Up, Blue Suede Shoes, Suspicious Minds, American Trilogy as well as Hollywood favourites Bossa Nova Baby and Viva Las Vegas, you will leave the building on cloud 9!! www.dundeebox.co.uk dundee city box office 01382 434940 Saturday 26 November 7.30pm The University of Dundee Choirs and Orchestra Concert Piano Concerto No4 in G - Beethoven Les Chanson des Roses - Lauridsen Luminosity - James Whitbourn The keyboard plays a major part in the performance.
