On #WorldMentalHealthDay we continue to explore how music can be a powerful tool to improve well being, and help relieve stress and anxiety. This #MusicforWellbeing week we're in schools around central Scotland, offering moments of calm to young people amidst their learning day

It's been a whole year since our collaboration with Jasdeep Singh Degun made it's way into the world! Watch Jasdeep and Jon discuss the challenges and wins of merging Indian classical and Western music, and how this creative process can enrich musical minds.

Wow - what a night! Yesterday we made our debut at the Southbank Centre to a packed audience, and what a fantastic reception we received. Thank you to all who came along and we can’t wait to head back to the Southbank in January with @MishMashProds for in Sync

@sear_georgina So pleased you could come along and enjoyed the performance.

@ScotEnsemble I’ve missed you since selling up in Glasgow. What a joy! Thanks for making the trip.

Ahead of our concert this Sunday, we were set a challenge by @southbankcentre to come up with a 10 track mixtape that gives a flavour of the breadth of our musical influences. Have a listen to the tracks we selected, and why we choose them at southbankcentre.co.uk/magazine/my-mi…

For those who joined our quartet over the weekend at Sonica you might remember this vivid piece by Shostakovich played in @TheBurrellCollection 's main atrium. You can see us play it up close and personal, in our video below, in a somewhat different setting!

We’ve been marvelling at the beauty and intrigue of the exhibits and architecture of @burrellcollect today, as we rehearse for Sunday’s journey through the museum. Part of @crypticglasgow's Sonica 2024, Echoes of the Burrell, is open to all. scottishensemble.co.uk/programme/2024…

@TheCumnockTryst Many, many congratulations - richly deserved.

This is a huge milestone for the festival and means the world to everyone at Team Tryst 🧡 A huge thank you to everyone who has been part our journey in the past ten years, and we can't wait to celebrate with you at our 2024 festival very soon.

We are honoured and overwhelmed that last night our Artistic Director Sir @jamesmacm won the Classical Music Award at the @SkyArts Awards, for his work on The Cumnock Tryst! 🏆 Read more 🔗 thecumnocktryst.com/news-blog/2024…

Thank you to our wonderful audiences in Arran and Kirkcudbright who joined us over the weekend. Today we are working up an appetite for a lunchtime performance at @perthTCH - plenty of room for more ice cream?

And we're off! We've arrived on the first leg of our Resound tour, beginning this evening at Arran's Whiting Bay Hall. Tickets still available to purchase on the door from 6.30pm, performance starts at 7pm 🎻

Rehearsals are underway for Resound! As you can see our musicians are delighted to be back together after a summer break. The tour begins tomorrow in Arran and full details are at scottishensemble.co.uk/programme/2024…

After our summer break we can’t wait to get back on stage this week - performing to audiences across Scotland. You just can’t beat live music! 📷 by Monika S Jakubowska and Matthias Kremer

A wonderfully intimate venue, the Joan Knight Studio is perfectly suited to an intimate listening experience. If you've already got tickets then no need to worry - they're still valid. Haven't yet got tickets then find all the details at perththeatreandconcerthall.com/booking/perfor…

Resound heads to Perth on Mon 9 Sep, and in a change to the previously advertised venue (and for the first time) we’ll be performing in the Joan Knight Studio at @perthTCH directly across the road from the concert hall.

Earlier this week we took part in the Healing Arts Festival Glasgow day. Our musicians shared mindfulness tools and techniques to support wellbeing. Explore how music can lift spirits and strengthen connections by joining us for Resound this September > scottishensemble.co.uk/programme/2024…
