This year we bring you an expansive Perth Concert Series with an exciting line-up from all three of Scotland’s national orchestras. Join us for a journey through some of the most rousing and passionate symphonies and concertos,  to more tender, delicate and playful pieces. We’ll also musically travel to meet a Spanish princess and an Egyptian queen, accompanied by some very special guest groups, and present a new world premiere from composer Jay Capperauld.

Book to experience all six of these Resident Orchestra concerts in the incredible acoustics of Perth Concert Hall and save a tremendous 25%!

In addition, we have programmed two excellent Orchestras from overseas. First on our stage is the National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine which is touring to raise funds for its musicians. comes the far-flung China Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra with an exciting programme full of energy and drive, including music from the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

We are also thrilled to present two spectacular special concerts. In October The Royal Scottish Nationa l Orchestra will join forces with the period instruments of the Dunedin Consort to stage the surprising Songs of Wars I Have Seen by the German composer Heiner Goebbels. This is not your normal classical concert - expect talking, moving, and singing from both the stage and from you, the audience... you can truly become part of the performance if you so choose!

The secondspecial concert sees the return of Nicola Benedetti performing Beethoven’s Violin Concerto with The Scottish Chamber Orchestra. She’ll both play the virtuosic solo part and direct the Orchestra from the violin, in an evening set to repeat the sell-out success of her 2022 appearance at Perth Concert Hall.

The Scottish Chamber Orchestra will get 2024 off on a sparkling note with our well-known, and well-loved, Viennese New Year concert.

We are very grateful for the continuing support of The Gannochy Trust in making the Perth Concert Series possible and we look forward to sharing many wonderful concerts with you in the coming months.
