Elegant, buoyant and gloriously witty, Mozart’s Flute Concerto puts paid to the composer’s spurious claims that he couldn’t stand the instrument. In the hands of the SCO’s charismatic Principal Flute André Cebrián, it forms the sparkling centrepiece to a bold and richly flavoured concert conducted by the Orchestra’s inspirational Principal Guest Conductor, Andrew Manze.

Join us for an unforgettable evening with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra (RSNO) under the baton of the acclaimed conductor Elim Chan, featuring a spectacular program that showcases the concerto form in its most thrilling and innovative expressions. This concert is a highlight of the Edinburgh International Festival, taking place at the prestigious Usher Hall in Edinburgh on Sunday, 18th August 2024, at 6.00pm.

The evening's repertoire begins with the Scottish premiere of Wynton Marsalis's Trumpet Concerto, performed by the internationally renowned trumpet soloist Alison Balsom. Described as "simply divine" by the Sunday Telegraph, Balsom's performance promises to be a wild exploration of the trumpet's capabilities, blending jazz and classical idioms in Marsalis's ambitious composition.

The concert continues with Pierre-Laurent Aimard, hailed as an "extraordinary visionary" by the Wall Street Journal, taking on Arnold Schoenberg's inventive Piano Concerto. Written during Schoenberg's exile in the United States during World War II, this piece is a testament to the composer's innovative spirit and resilience.

The evening concludes with Witold Lutosławski's folkloric Concerto for Orchestra, inspired by the music traditions of the Kurpie region in Poland. This piece is a vibrant celebration of folk melodies and rhythms, showcasing the RSNO's versatility and technical prowess.

Tickets start from £22.50, offering everyone the opportunity to experience this unique musical journey. Don't miss your chance to witness three pioneering musical languages brought to life by the RSNO, Elim Chan, Alison Balsom, and Pierre-Laurent Aimard in what promises to be a highlight of the Edinburgh International Festival.

ASMF & Julia Fischer

The core of chamber music is the string quartet—a medium and format in which the history of music—going back to the era of Mozart—is expressed. Mendelsohn and Schubert bring lyricism and soul, while the Late Romantic Schoenberg barely foretells the immense legacy of this and the last century. Will a mystery quartet drink from these fresh waters? You have to be there to find out.

Steven Isserlis — praised by The Strad for the “mastery and sheer joy” of his playing — joins the NY Phil for Robert Schumann’s Cello Concerto. On the podium is Simone Young, one of today’s top interpreters of Bruckner symphonies, leading  the monumental Sixth. The concert opens with Schoenberg’s Notturno for strings and harp, a lush, youthful work in the late-Romantic style.
