125 YEARS YOUNG!

DEAR FRIENDS

I wish you the warmest welcome to the RSNO’s 2016:17 Season. From our modest beginnings back in 1891 to our international standing today, the Orchestra’s focus has always been to perform great music to the highest standard for you, our audience. This Season, as we celebrate our 125th anniversary, we are delighted to continue with that tradition. We have more of the music you love, performed by the wonderful musicians of the RSNO, alongside some of the world’s most in-demand guest artists and conductors. From the passion of Beethoven, Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov to the thrill of our new anniversary commission by Sally Beamish performed by the talented Jonathan Biss, there’s much to be excited about! Plus don’t miss our special concert dedicated to the soundtracks of Steven Spielberg’s epic films, featuring music by award-winning composer, John Williams. I hope you enjoy reading all about the new Season and selecting your concerts. We look forward to welcoming you to the Caird Hall very soon.
