A celebration of music for strings and the joy of making music together. 

Young string players from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland take to the stage in a powerful collaboration with musicians from Scottish Ensemble. This electrifying performance will be the culmination of a week-long creative residency, where mentorship meets music-making in its most dynamic form.

Supporting the next generation of performers is at the heart of what the Scottish Ensemble does. Through its Young Artists programme, emerging musicians don't just rehearse – they dive headfirst into the world of professional performance, learning the craft from the inside out and bringing fresh energy to the stage.
