Description
Vibrant strings, dancing rhythms, radiant venues
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 Jessie Montgomery, 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.
