Gary Meikle: Yer Maw

26 Sept 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

25 Sept 2026 - 8 May 2027

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

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.

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).

With the global pandemic bringing live touring to a halt during 2020/21, Hue and Cry introduced their pioneering Live from Lockdown streaming shows which were broadcast live from the band’s Glasgow based studio and viewed online by thousands of fans around the world. A collection of their favourite tracks from these shows was released as a Best of Lockdown album (2022). Hue and Cry have sold tens of thousands of concert tickets worldwide.

European Doctors Orchestra

27 Sept 2026 - 27 Sept 2026

European Doctors Orchestra in aid of CHAS Dvořák Slavonic Dances op.46 Nos 1 and 8 Brahms Double Concerto for Violin and Cello op. 102 Dvořák Symphony No.7 op. 70 (B. 141) Conductor - Gordon Bragg Soloists - Afonso Fesch (violin) and Alexandre Foster (cello) Making music for a good cause. The European Doctors Orchestra is a symphony orchestra made up of doctors across Europe, who in their free time are musicians who perform to the highest level. The Orchestra performs at least two public charity concerts a year, with the aim of celebrating and enjoying music but also to benefit charity projects (usually related to health and well-being). We are delighted that the Orchestra’s next performance will be in Glasgow. Musicians from around 12 different counties will perform music by Dvořák and Brahms at an evening dedicated to friendship and featuring a special encore with a Scottish twist! The theme of friendship is reflected in the evening’s programme. Both of Antonín Dvořák’s works were inspired by his long-time friend and mentor Johannes Brahms : Dvořák’s dark seventh symphony, inspired by Brahms' third symphony, and his uplifting Slavonic Dances, inspired by Brahms' Hungarian Dances. Whilst Brahms’ beautiful double concerto was composed for his old friend Joseph Joachim in the hope of repairing their strained friendship which had fractured after the latter’s divorce. Fortunately, his concerto seemed to have the desired effect! For their Glasgow performance, the Orchestra will be raising money for Children’s Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS) who provide unwavering care to children with life-shortening conditions, as well as their families: www.chas.org.uk.

John Waters

5 Feb 2027 - 9 Feb 2027

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

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

4 Oct 2026 - 4 Oct 2026

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

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

24 Oct 2026 - 24 Oct 2026

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

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

7 Nov 2026 - 7 Nov 2026

Be there and feel it for yourself.

RSNO 2026/27: Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No2

14 Nov 2026 - 14 Nov 2026

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

12 Dec 2026 - 12 Dec 2026

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

13 Dec 2026 - 13 Dec 2026

‘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.

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.

RSNO 2026/27: A Celebration of Steve Reich

6 Mar 2027 - 6 Mar 2027

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.

7 Mar 2027 - 7 Mar 2027

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

13 Mar 2027 - 13 Mar 2027

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

17 Apr 2027 - 17 Apr 2027

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.

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

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: Season Finale: Mahler Three

22 May 2027 - 22 May 2027

‘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.

The battle gives way to the beautiful closing ballad Soon, a prayer for peace and hope.

Dunedin Consort - Vienna and Beyond - Joseph Hayd Symphony No.6 "Le Matin" - Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach Keyboard Concerto in C major Wq. 20 - Marianna Martine Sinfonia in C Major - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Keyboard Concerto No.14 in E-flat major K.449 Angela Hewitt fortepiano Matthew Truscott violin & director Alive with musical exchange, 18th-century Vienna was known as a city where composers, performers and patrons moved within the same close-knit circles, sharing ideas as readily as they shared the stage. The line between soloist and ensemble blurred, and music unfolded as an intimate, evolving conversation. Within this world, composers such as Haydn, C.P.E. Bach and Martines each contributed to a shared musical language, testing its boundaries, refining its forms and shaping its future. A young Mozart, absorbing these influences, would carry them forward with extraordinary fluency and imagination. Alongside internationally renowned pianist Angela Hewitt we aim to shine a light on a culture of collaboration, where the keyboard and ensemble engage as equal partners, and where every musical idea feels part of a wider, living dialogue.

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.

Awards and accolades - a knighthood, a Brit, an OBE, an Ivor Novello, 6 Grammys, honourary doctorates from Queen’s University Belfast and the University of Ulster, entry into The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and the French Ordres Des Artes Et Des Lettres - attested to the international reach of Van’s musical art.

Humza Yousaf: Under Fire

29 Sept 2026 - 29 Sept 2026

When Scotland's then First Minister, Humza Yousaf, got a call from Gaza on the morning of 7 October 2023, he feared the worst. His wife's parents, Elizabeth and Maged, had been visiting the Palestinian territory to see Maged's sick Palestinian mother. Now, after the Hamas terrorist attack, they were caught in Israel's furious onslaught. Under Fire: My Family's Escape from Gaza and The Cost of Leadership tells the story of Yousaf's month-long nightmare as he tried desperately to get his in-laws out of Gaza and back home to Dundee. With the British government ignoring his pleas for help, he had to coordinate with other countries to get Elizabeth and Maged across the Rafah border into Egypt. As well as documenting his in-laws' escape from Gaza, Under Fire also tells the story of how a son of immigrants grew up to become the first Muslim leader of a Western European country. Yousaf also tells of his fears on the rise of far-right populism and how to combat the forces that seek to divide us. The book draws back the curtain to give an honest account of how true leadership means reconciling personal loyalties with public duty, and how, in a world riven with conflict, it is more important than ever that leaders under pressure maintain their humanity and empathy for all. 7:00pm - 8:00pm Ticket options: Ticket only & Ticket and Book (to be collected at event)

Val Mcdermid & Jo Sharp: This Door of the Seas

11 Nov 2026 - 11 Nov 2026

Join internationally bestselling author Val McDermid and Geographer Royal for Scotland Jo Sharp for an illuminating conversation about their new co-authored novella, This Door of the Seas. The Darien Venture was the singular event at the end of the seventeenth century that fundamentally altered Scotland’s future. It took place on the other side of the world, amid the jungle-coastline at the junction between the continents of North and South America. And most of us know next to nothing about it. Now it’s time to remedy that. In this revelatory novella, the story of Scotland’s only trading colony is traced, which turned from a dream of prosperity to a nightmare that bankrupted an already impoverished nation and propelled it towards political union with England. Written as a series of letters home from expedition scientist Dr James Wallace to his wife Eliza and Sir Robert Sibbald, the first Geographer Royal, this epistolary tale offers a devastating account of the forces that doomed the endeavour and completely changed the history of the British Isles in the process. 7:00pm - 8:00pm Ticket options: Ticket only & Ticket and Book (to be collected at event)

The Hawkstone Farmers Choir - This Is Home

4 Mar 2027 - 10 Apr 2027

Following an extraordinary year that has taken them from muddy fields and tractor cabs to one of the biggest stages on British television, The Hawkstone Farmers’ Choir will next embark on a major UK headline tour in March and April 2027. The tour will see them perform their own original music alongside the soaring, emotionally charged arrangements that have become their trademark. The Hawkstone Farmers Choir began with a simple call-out from Jeremy Clarkson, looking for farmers to sing on a Hawkstone beer advert. More than 40 farmers and agricultural workers came together, many accustomed to spending their working lives alone in tractors, barns and fields and something unexpected happened. What began as a group of strangers singing together became something far bigger. Under the musical direction of Simon Gwilliam and Lizzie Deane, the choir entered the 19th series of Britain’s Got Talent, delivering a hugely emotional audition performance of Elbow’s 'One Day Like This' , moving the audience and judges to tears. Then, in May 2026, they did something no choir had achieved before. Rather than returning with another cover, The Hawkstone Farmers’ Choir stepped onto the final stage to perform their own original song, 'This Is Home'’ - a song rooted in farming, belonging, community and the place they call home. The British public voted them the winners, making them the first choir to ever win Britain’s Got Talent. Defined by enormous harmonies, raw emotion and the unmistakable weight of lived experience behind every performance, The Hawkstone Farmers Choir have developed into far more than a television success story. They are an increasingly powerful voice for rural Britain - celebrating the people, communities and landscapes at the heart of British farming while refusing to shy away from the realities facing the industry. Farming remains one of the UK’s most isolated professions: long hours, financial and environmental uncertainty and a culture in which difficult conversations have not always come easily. As friendships developed within the choir, so did honest conversations about the pressures of agricultural life and mental health. Today, The Hawkstone Farmers Choir are using their collective voice to help bring those conversations into the open. This is a group of ordinary people at the centre of an extraordinary story.

The GSA Choir Christmas Concert

5 Dec 2026 - 5 Dec 2026

One extraordinary sound. A new commission. A Christmas concert unlike any other. This Christmas, come and hear 150 singers fill the hall with music that moves between the familiar and the new. The GSA Choir’s Christmas concert brings together three very different musical worlds: the timeless choral writing of Benjamin Britten, the contemporary imagination of Jay Capperauld , and a brand-new work written especially for the GSA Choir. At the heart of the programme is the world premiere of Stars, a new commission by composer, Kim Porter , setting words by poet, Marjorie Pickthall. Looking up from a winter landscape, Pickthall’s poem moves from the slender moon and Orion to the vastness of the night sky. Porter’s new setting gives those words a new musical life; written for the GSA Choir and heard in performance for the very first time. Alongside Stars, we’ll perform Jay Capperauld’s The Winter’s Brightening and Benjamin Britten’s A Ceremony of Carols, one of the great works of the Christmas choral repertoire. And, because Christmas should still be fun, expect some familiar festive favourites along the way.
