Step into the glow of Concerts for a Summer’s Night – a celebration of light, rhythm and connection from Scottish Ensemble. From the shimmering beauty of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and Max Bruch to the bold voices of Isobel Waller-Bridge, Bryce Dessner and Oliver Leith, this vibrant programme moves effortlessly between centuries and continents.
Strings pulse, melodies sing, and every note shimmers with the warmth of summer in light-filled venues across Scotland.
Join Scottish Ensemble for an evening of radiant sound and playful contrasts with music to stir the senses and lift the spirit.
