Gary Meikle: Yer Maw

24 Apr 2026 - 2 Dec 2026

Hi guys! It’s me, Gary. These blurbs do my head in, if I’m honest. Each year I need to sit and write one out before I even know what stories I’m gonna share. So what's the new show about? I don’t know yet, but it will contain at least one 'yer maw' joke! What I do know is that it’ll be another brand-new combination of stories, opinions and observations about me and my family, as well as all of you. It's always about people and the mad things we do, sometimes animals too, but more often than not it's about people and the stupid scenarios we end up in.

The King's Voice: Gordon Hendricks as Elvis
In Stoke on Trent in the early seventies, a young Gordon Hendricks played to an imaginary crowd. Harmonizing his voice to a constant soundtrack, played on repeat by his sisters. The music was Rock n Roll. The Artist was Elvis. Little did he know then that his performance in his potteries home would lead to a phenomenal career impersonating The King, working with his legendary musicians in years to come. Karaoke led to ITV’s ‘Stars in their Eyes’ where he rose from runner-up to series champion winning by a record number of votes. Watched by 12 million viewers astounded by their ears and eyes. And it wasn’t just the public. Elvis’ own songwriter Geoff Morrow was watching. Touched by Gordon’s voice that “recaptured the spirit of the song”, Geoff signed Gordon to his label and the two recorded and released “Where Will I Be”, a song originally written for Elvis. Gordon’s received many accolades. The greatest being crowned ‘Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artiste Champion 2017’ on stage at Graceland for the second time, competing against global artists. He’s toured the world and now he’s coming home. ‘The King’s Voice” tour transports you through time from the ‘68 special through to the Vegas era, breathing soul into ballads and those iconic jumpsuit numbers that set the stage on fire. There’s only one Elvis Presley and there’s only one artiste who captures his spirit on stage – the inimitable Gordon Hendricks.
Steve Hackett

Steve Hackett

2 Oct 2026 - 26 Oct 2026

The legendary Genesis album Foxtrot which, in 1972, was pivotal in establishing the band as a major force in British rock. Guitarist Steve Hackett joined Genesis in 1971, making his band debut on the Nursery Cryme album which enjoyed a greater commercial success in Europe than the UK. After extensive touring, the band were encouraged, by audience reactions, to further experiment with ever longer compositions and develop their ability to incorporate strong narratives. This, in turn, allowed frontman Peter Gabriel more opportunity to indulge in the theatrics which helped to raise the band’s profile. Foxtrot was critically acclaimed and became the first Genesis album to make the UK album charts. The Steve Hackett Genesis Revisited - Foxtrot at Fifty + Hackett Highlights tour also promises more Genesis favourites and highlights from Hackett’s extensive solo catalogue.

22 Apr 2026 - 4 May 2026

Yes, one of the most innovative of all prog-rock bands, and true legends of the genre, have announced a 8-date UK tour. The show will comprise two sets by the band with full production and a high definition video wall. The first will feature favourite classic tracks from YES’ extensive catalogue. The second will feature Relayer, the seventh studio album by Yes, and one of the band’s most distinctive. Relayer marked a slight change in direction as Patrick Moraz replaced Rick Wakeman on keyboards bringing an edgier, avant-garde feel to the album. This was perfect for the opening track Gates Of Delirium, almost 22 minutes in length, with its battle scene featuring the keyboard of Moraz and Steve Howe’s guitar. The battle gives way to the beautiful closing ballad Soon, a prayer for peace and hope. The album continues with Sound Chaser, a prog-rock-jazz fusion experiment heavily influenced by Moraz’s style and To Be Over, a calm and gentle conclusion to the album, based on a melody by Steve Howe.

13 Apr 2026 - 21 Apr 2026

Since the release of her first, career-defining solo album Little Earthquakes, and her number one album Under The Pink, Tori Amos has been one of the music industry’s most enduring and ingenious artists. Tori has transcended from commercial pop success to using her music to tackle serious issues around female gender, subsequently paving the way for a generation of young female activist popstars. From her visceral depiction of sexual assault in Me and a Gun and her post-9/11 album Scarlet’s Walk, to her decidedly feminist stage musical The Light Princess, her work has never shied away from intermingling the personal with the political. Her stunning album Ocean To Ocean addressed the feelings of lock down, isolation, family and grief, with a gentle euphoric approach to such potentially dark musings.

The follow up album Remote continued the trend and produced the huge hits Looking for Linda and Violently. Albums like Stars Crash Down, Showtime and Jazz Not Jazz ensured Hue and Cry’s continued successful run through the ’90s, whilst their 2005 appearances as finalists on ITV’s primetime show Hit Me Baby One More Time, featuring their version of Beyonce’s Crazy In Love, thrust the band firmly back into the mainstream limelight. A number of successful album releases and accompanying live appearances followed which included Open Soul (2008), Xmasday (2009), Bitter Suite Again (2010), Hot Wire (2012), Remote: Major to Minor (2014), September Songs (2015), Pocketful of Stones (2017).

Scott Bradlee & Postmodern Jukebox

Scott Bradlee & Postmodern Jukebox

12 May 2026 - 4 Jun 2026

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.

Scottish National Jazz Orchestra - Two Gils and a Bill
Scottish National Jazz Orchestra - Two Gils and a Bill Gill Goldstein Celebrates the Music of Gil Evans & Bill Evans Gil Goldstein is a 5-time Grammy-winning arranger, producer, pianist and accordionist. He has crossed paths with many important jazz musicians of our time, including Michael Brecker, Esperanza Spalding, Pat Metheny, Jim Hall, Gil Evans, Bobby McFerrin, and Steve Swallow. On his journeys, he has met many of his idols, most notably Bill Evans, who remains a major influence on Goldstein’s music and composition. He loved the pianist’s music and the two musicians enjoyed a mutual admiration; Evans wrote the foreword to Goldstein’s book, The Jazz Composer’s Companion. Goldstein continues to honour his friend’s compositions with orchestrations full of passion, grace and fire. Goldstein also learned everything he knew about arranging from Gil Evans, with whom he played in Evans' orchestras from 1984 until Evans' death in 1988. Goldstein was asked by Quincy Jones to reconstruct Gil Evans’s classic arrangements for Miles Davis, which were performed at Montreux Jazz in 1991, one of Miles’s last performances. This concert will connect Gil Goldstein’s experiences, which will be reflected in his arrangements, adaptations, and original compositions. Goldstein’s work as a pianist is broad, having worked with James Moody, Stan Getz, Chet Baker, Joe Lovano, David Sanborn, Astrid Gilberto, Toninho Horta and Pat Martino. In addition, Goldstein has expanded the scope of the accordion as a jazz instrument: having played in so many bands and jazz venues he is now considered one of the leading voices on the instrument, which he began studying at age five. Gil Goldstein has arranged for the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra on several occasions, but this is the first time he will join them on-stage; he looks forward to guiding the Orchestra and its audiences through a travelogue of musical experiences.

Shalamar are one of the most successful soul groups of all time, selling 25 million albums worldwide. Formed in 1976, the band enjoyed their first hit single the following year with the Motown inspired medley 'Uptown Festival'. The 'underground soul club' hits continued with 'Take That To The Bank' in 1978, followed by 'Right In The Socket' and the infectious ‘The Second Time Around’, which dominated the airwaves through Autumn 1979. In 1982, the whole world fell under the spell of Shalamar with the release of the Friends album (which sold over on million copies in the UK) and in particular, 'A Night to Remember' – although it was not perhaps the song but the image of Jeffrey Daniel performing the 'Moonwalk' live on British Television for the first time on Top of The Pops that stopped a nation in their tracks. Fast forward 35+ years and the band, still with original members Jeffrey Daniel, Howard Hewitt alongside Solar Records Dick Griffey, daughter Carolyn Griffey continue to thrill audiences all over the world with their stage show. 'A Shalamar concert is a giant party' says Jeffrey Daniel, 'from the moment we step on stage to the moment we finish the audience becomes part of the show - they’re up on their feet dancing and singing along.'

No matter what your pubic-politics are these days, you have to admit it’s time for everybody to go to extremes. John Waters is back on the road with a whole new radical comedy revival show whose sermon will beg the authorities to drop a net on both himself and his rabidly insane audience. Yes, they’re coming to take him away, ha-ha, ho-ho, hee-hee, but he doesn’t care. He knows his deviously demented fans will fight back with a limp-wrist fist. Nasty neuters, hetero hell-cats with benefits, flaming straight guys, butch twinks, diesels with measles, trans who dress as their masculinized moms and feminized fathers - they know they’re welcome here! Calling all rock’n’roll refugees, illegal space aliens, John Waters says climb on over the wall to the other side. He’s dressed to thrill and ready to rant about pro-punk conversion therapy, right-wing female-female impersonators, extreme amusement parks, even prank guerrilla placement of phony incendiary book titles in libraries that recently banned gay children’s classics. Yessir, the Duke of Dirt has reckless eyeballs and he’s lookin’ for you, lunatics! Let’s all drill a hole in our heads so we’re high forever and crash the Kennedy Center! His filth followers don’t get off, they get on you and scream, “Go! Go! Go to the John Waters show!” Going to Extremes. It’ll make you scream!

RSNO 2026/27: Shostakovich Five

RSNO 2026/27: Shostakovich Five

3 Oct 2026 - 3 Oct 2026

In Stalin’s Russia, music really was a matter of life and death. Written under political oppression, Shostakovich gambled everything on his Fifth Symphony, and when it was first played, the audience wept - and then cheered. Make no mistake, this is a musical thriller with a devastating emotional punch, and tonight Principal Guest Conductor Patrick Hahn sets the scene with another Cold War classic, Schnittke’s haunting Viola Concerto, with the brilliant Lawrence Power as soloist. Expect shadows, secrets and some powerful surprises.
RSNO 2026/27 Chamber Series: String Sextet with Lawrence Power
Take Brahms at his happiest, add six terrific musicians (including viola sensation Lawrence Power), throw in some glorious tunes and the result is irresistible. But if Brahms’ First Sextet is true musical sunshine, Schoenberg’s ‘Transfigured Night’ is deep, velvety darkness. A tale of forbidden love poured out in some of the most sensuous music ever written, this is half an hour of decadence at its most delirious. Pure joy meets ultimate passion in one incredible afternoon of music.
RSNO 2026/27: West Side Story

RSNO 2026/27: West Side Story

10 Oct 2026 - 10 Oct 2026

From the open landscapes of Copland’s Appalachian Spring to the spiritual-inspired lyricism of Florence Price’s Piano Concerto, from the symphonic warmth of William Grant Still to the electrifying rhythms of Bernstein’s West Side Story, this concert is a vibrant journey through American music at its most exciting. Rising star Jeneba Kanneh-Mason joins conductor Kellen Gray for a concert packed with orchestral colour and irresistible rhythm.
RSNO 2026/27: Brahms’ Violin Concerto
With some pieces, you just want to close your eyes and let your imagination paint a picture. For our Finnish guest conductor Emilia Hoving, it’s all about the landscape of the far North: lakes, forests, midnight sunlight and the shimmering wonder of the Northern Lights. So let your ears do the gazing in Finnish classics by Saariaho and Sibelius - and join RSNO Leader Maya Iwabuchi on an autumn getaway to the Austrian Alps, in Brahms’ magnificent Violin Concerto.
RSNO 2026/27:  Shostakovich Seven

RSNO 2026/27: Shostakovich Seven

31 Oct 2026 - 31 Oct 2026

As Hitler’s armies surrounded the city of Leningrad, Dmitri Shostakovich composed his Seventh Symphony - a shout of courage, defiance and victory, written for massed battalions of musicians. Brace yourself for wartime drama on a heroic scale as Bassem Akiki conducts the mighty RSNO in this sonic blockbuster: the climax of a concert that begins with Copland’s showstopping fanfare and stars a real RSNO favourite, violinist Philippe Quint, in a violin concerto with a dazzling difference.
RSNO 2026/27:  Verdi Requiem

RSNO 2026/27: Verdi Requiem

7 Nov 2026 - 7 Nov 2026

Verdi’s Requiem is more than just a roof-raising, soul-stirring vision of the Day of Judgement composed by the grand master of Italian opera. It’s a passionate journey into the human heart itself, and with Patrick Hahn leading a team of superb opera singers, plus the full RSNO and two great Scottish choirs, the air is going to shake tonight. Be there and feel it for yourself.
RSNO 2026/27: Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No2
Experience more than just a brief encounter with Scotland’s National Orchestra tonight. Dorothy Howell’s Lamia is a musical fairy tale with a gorgeous twist. Meanwhile, Rachmaninov’s Second Piano Concerto is a world of dark passions and endless melodies, played tonight by the extraordinary Roman Borisov. And Elgar’s magnificent First Symphony begins with one of the greatest tunes ever written by a British composer and just gets better and better. With Music Director Thomas Sondergard in charge, prepare to be swept away.
RSNO 2026/27: Pictures at an Exhibition
All music paints pictures, but Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition takes them to the next level. Dancing chickens, glowing skulls, witches, gnomes and the sound of a thousand bells -they’re all here, large as life, and to see them you only have to listen. But that’s just one highlight of an evening that opens in Poland with a love letter from Chopin played by the amazing Rafał Blechacz and features a real surprise from Scotland’s own Thea Musgrave. A guaranteed sighting of Nessie? Hearing is believing!
RSNO 2026/27 Chamber Series: Rafał Blechacz Piano Recital
‘I really want to show that Chopin’s music is very close to my heart,’ says the award-winning Polish pianist Rafał Blechacz, but that’s not the only reason why the New York Times called him ‘one of the major artists of his generation’. Blechacz brings a special magic to everything he touches and this solo recital features the poetry and passion of his beloved Chopin. But first, Beethoven: piano music doesn’t get any more romantic than the famous Moonlight Sonata.

RSNO 2026/27: Handel’s Messiah

2 Jan 2027 - 2 Jan 2027

Handel’s Messiah isn’t just a masterpiece: it’s a national treasure. Ev’ry Valley, For Unto Us a Child is Born and, of course, the Hallelujah Chorus - everyone already knows at least some of the tunes. To hear the whole thing performed live is a life-affirming experience and today, with the RSNO, four world-class singers and our magnificent Chorus, every note will feel fresh.

RSNO 2026/27: Romantic Valentine’s: Grieg’s Piano Concerto
Music is the food of love, and for Valentine’s weekend we’re cooking up a feast. Grieg’s phenomenally popular Piano Concerto sits at the heart of this concert and we’re thrilled to welcome star pianist Jonathan Mamora to perform it especially for you. Relax and enjoy an intoxicating evening of the most romantic music imaginable. Mahler’s dreamy idyll, Tchaikovsky’s star-crossed lovers, and the endless passion of Tristan und Isolde - this is music to make the heart melt and the spirit soar, wrapped in the silken sound of a full orchestra and served up with style by conductor Clelia Cafiero.
RSNO 2026/27: Beethoven Five

RSNO 2026/27: Beethoven Five

20 Feb 2027 - 20 Feb 2027

It’s raw feeling. It’s rock ’n’ roll. It’s a revolution in four notes. It’s Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony: music that makes the composer the star, with no emotion off limit. If you’ve heard it before, you’ll know that you can never hear it often enough; if you haven’t - well, you’re in for the ride of your life. Thomas Sondergard conducts it tonight, along with Walton’s movie classic and the ear-tingling sonic adventures of Lutosławski’s Cello Concerto, played by the fabulous Pablo Ferrández. Don’t miss it.
RSNO 2026/27: A Celebration of Steve Reich
I am wide awake: the mind is listening. There’s a reason why Steve Reich is a living legend - he’s the composer who broke music down to its raw elements and then rebuilt it, transforming the way we listen. Scottish percussion superstar Colin Currie leads a dancing, shimmering salute to a true icon, including the mind-expanding 1983 epic The Desert Music. Experience minimalism taken to the maximum: the sounds that made our century, in all their power, rhythm and beauty.
RSNO 2026/27 Chamber Series: Colin Currie: The Inspiration of Reich
If you can hit it, you can make music with it - and in the hands of Scottish percussion superstar Colin Currie, anything’s possible. A team of RSNO musicians joins Currie for an afternoon concert with a transatlantic flavour, all inspired by a giant among living composers, Steve Reich. Pieces of wood, aluminium bars, the chime of the marimba and the otherworldly atmosphere of an airport lounge: with a bit of magic, they can all create music. And Currie has wizardry to spare.
RSNO 2026/27: Carmina Burana

RSNO 2026/27: Carmina Burana

13 Mar 2027 - 13 Mar 2027

You can’t beat Fate, so let’s eat, drink and behave very badly indeed! That’s the basic story in Carl Orff’s outrageous Carmina Burana - an ear-filling, roof-raising musical celebration featuring the powerful O Fortuna. Sir James MacMillan conducts the RSNO’s choruses in his own fiery celebration of the power of music, Timotheus, Bacchus and Cecilia, and shares a new kind of spring song from one of Scotland’s most original young composers.
RSNO 2026/27: Ravel's Daphnis et Chloé
In ancient Greece, a boy and a girl discover the miracle of love, and all of nature seems to burst with rapturous, shimmering life. This is Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé, and for Thomas Sondergard it’s the crowning glory of a whole concert devoted to the joy, the magic and the sheer wonder of sound. First, though, Lili Boulanger captures the perfumes of a spring morning, and Szymanowski scatters notes like jewels. Sounds gorgeous? Just wait until you hear it.
RSNO 2026/27: Stravinsky's Rite of Spring
‘Mesmerising’; ‘Compelling’; ‘Sean Shibe may steal your heart’. When all the critics agree, you know something special is happening. Experience the artistry of Edinburgh-born guitarist Sean Shibe as he premieres the brand-new electric guitar concerto by composer David Fennessy. Expect the unexpected at the beating heart of a concert that begins with Ravel dancing on a volcano and ends with Stravinsky’s explosive The Rite of Spring - the ballet that started a riot.
RSNO 2026/27 Chamber Series: Wind Dectet Plays Brahms
Great things come in small packages. There are only ten players in this afternoon’s concert, but between them they can conjure up worlds. The teenage Benjamin Britten strides out with style, while high in the Alps on a perfect summer morning, the Swiss composer Arthur Honegger sits back and enjoys the view. And then the RSNO Wind Dectet plays Brahms’ First Serenade - a portrait of a genius in holiday mood, full of great tunes and musical jokes. Come and join the fun!
RSNO 2026/27: Sibelius One

RSNO 2026/27: Sibelius One

8 May 2027 - 8 May 2027

Cleopatra, the fabled queen. Salomé, the ultimate temptress. Ophelia, Shakespeare’s gentle, lovelorn heroine. For the French composers Mel Bonis and Hector Berlioz, the great women of legend and literature were an endless source of inspiration, and tonight we’ll hear them come alive. Glasgow’s international award-winning mezzo-soprano Beth Taylor stars as the fearless queen of Egypt, before guest conductor Edward Gardner sweeps us off to Finland for the elemental power and glowing colours of Sibelius’ tempestuous First Symphony. Stirring stuff, performed with passion and style. Plus don’t miss our special side-by-side performance with the young musicians of Sistema Scotland.
RSNO 2026/27: Mendelssohn's Scottish Symphony
Mendelssohn’s Scottish Symphony came to him one summer night in the ruins of Holyrood. A stirring musical portrait of Scotland, expect big tunes, rich orchestration and whole worlds of emotion. And who better to paint it today than Jörg Widmann: livewire conductor, dazzling composer and clarinettist extraordinaire? Every one of those talents is on display tonight, and trust us, you simply have to hear him for yourself.
RSNO 2026/27 Chamber Series: Beth Taylor Recital: L'heure exquise
Once in a generation - if we’re lucky - a voice comes along that’s in a class of its own. Beth Taylor was born in Glasgow, and since making the grand final of Cardiff Singer of the World in 2023, it’s become clear that her gorgeous, heart-warming sound is destined to astonish the world. But don’t take our word for it: hear for yourself this afternoon as she performs a magical sequence of songs from Britain, Austria and France. Prepare to be enchanted.
RSNO 2026/27: Season Finale: Mahler Three
‘What love tells me’: that’s how Mahler described the rapturous finale of his Third Symphony. But he has to get there first, and along the way trumpets call, stars shine and a children’s choir turns into a jubilant peal of bells. In short, anything can happen - and in this huge, glowing extravaganza of a symphony, it usually does! With Music Director Thomas Sondergard, mezzo-soprano Beth Taylor, members of the RSNO and RSNO Youth Choruses and a supersized orchestra, it’s an unforgettable way to end our Concert Season.
