Magnificat, Nunc Dimittis, O, Tryst : Macmillan / Netherlands Radio Chamber Philharmonic & Choir

James MacMillan is one of today's most successful living composers, also internationally active as a conductor. His musical language is flooded with influences from his Scottish heritage, Catholic faith, social conscience, and close connection with Celtic folk music, all blended with influences from Scandinavian and Eastern European music. MacMillan is currently Principal Guest Conductor of the Netherlands Radio Chamber Philharmonic, and has conducted orchestras such as the Baltimore Symphony, Rotterdam Philharmonic, Munich Philharmonic, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Toronto Symphony, and Los Angeles Philharmonic. In 2012, he was presented with the prestigious ABO Award at the Association of British Orchestras' annual conference.
