Mendelssohn – Octet
Randall Goosby, Violin

Scott Bradlee & Postmodern Jukebox
29 Apr 2025 - 16 May 2025
Starting out as the bedroom project of Jazz pianist Scott Bradlee and rapidly growing into a viral and real-world sensation, the US group's vintage-pop mash ups have racked up over 811 million views on YouTube.
Imagine marrying the 21st century party vibe of Miley Cyrus or the minimalist angst of Radiohead with the crackly warmth of a vintage 78 or the plunger-muted barrelhouse howl of a forgotten Kansas City jazzman. Bradlee's choice of material ranges from the '80s hard rock of Guns N' Roses to hits as recent as Taylor Swift's controversial "Look What You Made Me Do." They're rendered by a rotating cast of musicians and singers in fashions that date back to a time when Axl, Slash and T-Swift's parents had yet to be born - a time of street corner harmonies and torch singers, blues belters and golden-voiced crooners.

Lang Lang, one of the worlds leading figures in modern classical music and star of Channel 4s The Piano, will take to the stage for two exceptional performances this autumn, as he masterfully recreates one of the greatest masterpieces of keyboard literature, Bachs The Goldberg Variations. Lang Lang The Goldberg Variations brings to life Lang Langs The Goldberg Variations album in a thrilling live environment.
Ive been studying this work for more than 20 years, and recording it has been a lifelong dream, Ive never spent so much time on one piece, explains Lang Lang of The Goldberg Variations. Ive moved into new terrain with the Goldberg Variations and really immersed myself fully in this project.
The Goldberg Variations is, in the words of musicologist John Gillespie, the crowning achievement of the Baroque keyboard. On one level it is simply a beautiful piece of keyboard music; on another, its construction and inventiveness make it resemble a musical Rubiks Cube. As a pianist, Lang Lang went on a long and inspirational process to feel the depth and beauty of this outstanding piece of musical craftmanship from Bach. The Goldberg Variations are exceptional: this is the most creative and, crucially, the most multidimensional work in the keyboard repertoire, says Lang Lang; and for two extraordinary evenings, Lang Lang will traverse his audiences through this mesmerising and breathtaking Bach journey.
Lang Lang The Goldberg Variations is not to be missed.

Full band recreation of all his classic hits!
After Al’s last UK tour with his band the Empty Pockets in autumn 2019, he was sidelined for most of 2020 by the Covid-19 pandemic. For his first major tour since then, he has decided to reprise the line-up of his 2019 UK trek. Once again Al and the Pockets will be joined by saxophonist Marc Macisso. He will be playing his old favourites Year Of The Cat, Time Passages, On the Border, Nostradamus and Roads To Moscow along with selections from his deep catalogue.
The Scottish-born singer-songwriter has released nearly 20 introspective and lyrically powerful records featuring brilliant backing musicians (Jimmy Page, Phil Collins, Richard Thompson, Peter White, etc.). His biggest platinum successes, Year Of The Cat and Time Passages, were released in 1976 & 1978 respectively. He’s had several top 20 singles, including the above-mentioned titles, as well as On the Border and Song On The Radio.
In Al’s own Words: “I’m just a folk singer that is interested in history and wine that got lucky with some hit records! It’s as simple as that really. I was always a huge music fan and originally, I had wanted to be Brian Jones and then Bob Dylan, but those two jobs were already taken. And in many ways, I’m still pretty much the same troubadour that I was back in 1965. I still get a kick out of hearing the Zombies, Hendrix or They Might be Giants on the radio.”

28 Apr 2025 - 23 May 2025
Inspired by the performances of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Joey Bishop and Peter Lawford, the UK stars are hitting the road (with Pasquale at the wheel of the tour bus).
Packed with laughs and songs, backed by a 15-piece band, the show will let the audience in on the banter between some of television's best-loved stars - who are also very close friends.
Bradley Walsh says: "People are starved of our type of entertainment - songs, stories, jokes - and banter! It's an homage to the Rat Pack but brought up to the modern day, and its a fantastic night. We are just thrilled. We all share the same dressing room - we're mates. We've known each other for so long now - and the show is about warmth and family - because we are. It's great, really great."
Walsh was joined by his three mates and the Barry Robinson Big Band for a one-off show at the Palladium in London in March, and the idea was born for a full-on Prat Pack tour.
Fans can expect an evening packed with jokes that can only come from the chemistry of such seasoned entertainers. Walsh, Conley and Richie were all Pontins Bluecoats earlier in their careers and Pasquale was a Warner's Greencoat, giving them all a grounding in variety before decades-long careers at the very top of entertainment.

Albrecht Mayer: The Wonder of Sound - Book Launch and Recital
7 Jun 2025 - 7 Jun 2025
For us musicians there is nothing more important than sound and Albrecht’s sound is simply sublime. As his colleague and friend I loved this ‘backstage’ look into his journey about the trials and tribulations of creating that perfect Albrecht Mayer sound.
- Sarah Willis, French horn, Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra
World star oboist Albrecht Mayer reads from his deeply moving autobiography The Wonder of Sound: How the Power of Music Healed Me and enchants with his oboe playing.
In conversation with Heidi Friedrich (co-author), Albrecht gives a highly personal account of his life from a childhood beset by stuttering to the heights of musical greatness. His life gains new direction when his authoritarian father gives him an oboe with the edict that he learn to play it. He recounts the obstacles he faced and shows appreciation for those who helped him along the way. Despite his fame, Albrecht has never forgotten the stigma of living with an impairment. His autobiography is testament to the healing power of music and the endurance of the human spirit.
Piano: Scott Mitchell, RCS

Today, it’s just one stage on an emotional odyssey devised by our Principal Guest Conductor Patrick Hahn: a voyage that embraces the infinite longing of George Crumb and Richard Wagner, the volcanic grief of Benjamin Britten, and Scriabin’s final, multicoloured starburst of pure sonic bliss.

Ethan Loch Piano / Antonia Cramb Ballet Dancer
‘A narrative of the soul’ was how one critic described a recent Glasgow performance by Ethan Loch, and there’s no question that this young Scottish pianist (who has become a nationwide star since his triumph in BBC Young Musician in 2022) has something very special to say. Today, he lavishes all his artistry on Debussy’s shimmering musical pictures and premieres a new creation of his own: a ‘dance drama’ inspired by the sea and brought to life by ballet dancer Antonia Cramb.

The Divine Comedy
6 Oct 2025 - 25 Oct 2025
Since The Divine Comedy’s inception in 1989, Neil Hannon has time and again proved to be one of the UK’s best and most original songwriters. 2016's Foreverland exemplifies this, with references to everything from Catherine The Great to the French Foreign Legion. Neil says of the new record, ‘it’s about meeting your soul mate and living happily ever after… and then what comes after happily ever after. Get ready for the most historically inaccurate hit of the summer’.
While not releasing a record since 2010’s Bang Goes The Knighthood, Neil Hannon has certainly kept himself busy. He co-wrote a second album for acclaimed cricket-themed project, The Duckworth Lewis Method, composed a choral work for the Royal Festival Hall’s newly renovated organ entitled ‘To Our Fathers In Distress’, and oversaw the transfer of his musical, Swallows And Amazons, to the West End stage.

The Illegal Eagles
8 Feb 2026 - 8 Feb 2026
Celebrating over 50 years since the formation of the legendary West Coast Country Rock band The Eagles in 1971, The Illegal Eagles play the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall on Sunday 8 February 2026. This outstanding show promises the group's trademark musical prowess, acute attention to detail and incredible showmanship.
This critically acclaimed show features the very best from the Eagles’ catalogue of classics including ’Hotel California’, ‘Desperado’, ‘Take It Easy’, ‘New Kid In Town’, ‘Life In The Fast Lane’ and many more…
Formed in 1998, the latest all-star line-up of the show, produced as ever by Phil Aldridge, features Tony Kiley (formerly from 80’s sensation The Blow Monkeys) on drums, Trevor Newnham (Dr Hook) vocals and bass, Greg Webb vocals and guitars, Mike Baker, vocals and guitars and Garreth Hicklin, vocals and guitars.
Garreth, Greg, Trevor, and Mike effortlessly capture the vocal style and delivery of Eagles band members Henley, Walsh, Fry, Schmidt and Meisner, and are masters of their respective instruments.
The power-house rhythm section of Kiley and Newnham has added a dimension that is sensitive to the subtle needs of the Eagles’ songs and kicks hard where necessary.
The Eagles themselves were formed in Los Angeles in 1971 by founders Glenn Frey and Don Henley. With five number-one singles, six number one albums, six Grammy awards and five American Music awards, the Eagles were one of the most successful musical acts in the 1970s.
The Eagles have since gone on to become one of the world’s best-selling bands, having sold more than 200 million records, including 100 million albums sold in the US alone.
Their incredible songbook lives on in The Illegal Eagles, in a memorable evening featuring over two hours of classic country rock hits.
