The first half of @SNJO2 and @RSNO's infectious fusion of classical and jazz was, in the words of Gerry Cinnamon, a belter. As was @TommySmithMusic's arrangement of Rhapsody In Blue which kept both audience and musicians on the nails of their own toes!

Last night the Royal Scottish National Orchestra + the Scottish National Orchestra performed together for the first time at the Usher Hall.Stunning Rhapsody In Blue arranged with creative genius by @TommySmithMusic and lyrical energy from pianist @OzoneMakoto @RSNO @SNJO2 👏
