Conductor and Musical Director, Dr Paul Tierney will lead the choir and orchestra in this performance sung in German accompanied by two acclaimed soloists. The first half will contain Brahms’ Schicksalslied (“Song of Fate”), Op. 54 (1868-1871), sometimes dubbed as the “Little Requiem”, which is a cantata for choir and orchestra. The piece is based on a poem by Friedrich Hölderlin. The second half will contain Brahms’ Ein Deutsches Requiem (“A German Requiem”), Op.45 (1865-1868) which is a profound seven-movement masterpiece for choir and orchestra. It was written by Brahms after the death of his mother but composed to be a piece of music that brought comfort, solace and hope to the living. It brought international acclaim to Brahms during his lifetime and is one of his best loved and most recognisable works.”

Brahms's Piano Concerto No.1

23 Apr 2027 - 23 Apr 2027

Laila Arafah New Work (BBC Commission, World Premiere) (c.12 mins) Beethoven Symphony No.8 in F Major (c.25 mins) interval Brahms Piano Concerto No.1 (c.50 mins) Denis Kozhukhin piano Ryan Wigglesworth conductor The gale roars, and the orchestra hurls down its challenge. The opening of Brahms’s youthful First Piano Concerto is a long way from the image of the gruff old composer, with his baggy trousers and beard, and this huge, emotionally-charged concerto has been described as a symphony in all but name. It demands a pianist of formidable talents, and we’ve got one today. “Even in a day when keyboard virtuosos are thick on the ground, Kozhukhin is special” wrote one critic of Denis Kozhukhin, and he’s no stranger to the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. His performance should be a thrilling counterpart to the playful energy of Beethoven’s Eighth Symphony and the intimate, compelling sound-world of Laila Arafah, one of today’s most original voices. Book four concerts and save 30% or book 3 concerts (excluding Christmas Classics) and save 25%. This offer is open until Friday 30 October 2026 and only applies to full price tickets.

BBC SSO Beethoven's Symphony No.7

11 Feb 2027 - 12 Feb 2027

Takemitsu How slow the wind (c.10 mins) Dai Fujikura Double Concerto for flute, violin and orchestra (c.20 mins) interval Beethoven Symphony No.7 in A major (c.38 mins). Akiko Suwanai violin Adam Walker flute Ilan Volkov conductor. There’s only one Ludwig van Beethoven, and although he died 200 years ago this year, his music still burns with the bright, unquenchable power of life itself. “I am the new Bacchus, pressing out glorious wine for all humanity”, he declared, and his Seventh Symphony goes straight to your head: unstoppable, elemental and triumphantly human. But BBC SSO Creative Partner Ilan Volkov never takes any music for granted. Against Beethoven’s headlong energy, he’s set two very different visions by modern Japanese masters. Takemitsu explores the poetic world of Emily Dickinson, and Dai Fujikura imagines our violin and flute soloists as birds — soaring free, leading flocks and murmurations of extraordinary sounds. This promises to be ravishing.

Björn Again

10 Mar 2027 - 11 Apr 2027

Björn Again. The original Australian ABBA Homage has amassed over 5,800 shows in 78 countries in 39 years. Rod Stephen had previously been working in metallurgical research when at the age of 29 and inspired by legendary New Zealand band Split Enz’s musicianship and theatrics opted for a career change to create a new concept by revisiting the music and fashion of the 1970s. Rod had originally considered basing a nostalgic show on one of three all time top bands, The Beatles, Queen and ABBA but believing that the latter globally encapsulated all that was good (and maybe some not so good?) about the 1970s decided ABBA was ideal to focus his efforts on. After countless auditions and months of rehearsals and studying music and videos all Rod then needed was to devise a great show format to go with the name…and then the BJÖRN AGAIN show was ready to rock and roll !!! Having been acknowledged by BJÖRN ULVAEUS as being the show that single-handedly initiated the ABBA revival in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the BJÖRN AGAIN show is hailed as the most popular and successful show of its type.
