The @RSNO is one of Scotland’s five national performing companies and one of Europe's leading orchestras. Culture Secretary @AngusRobertson recently visited the RSNO Centre in Glasgow to hear more about the impact of its work in communities and its international partnerships.

Our Associate Leader Shlomy Dobrinsky is looking forward to next week's concerts: 'I’m really excited to perform Bruckner’s Eighth Symphony with Maestro, Thomas Søndergård. I love the connection between Anton Bruckner and popular music like The White Stripes. The symmetry lies not in style but in structure, repetition, and belief. Both create music that feels elemental, built from a small amount of material enlarged to monumental scale. Bruckner often takes a simple motif and repeats it obsessively, allowing harmony, orchestration, and time to transform it. The White Stripes do the same with riffs; Seven Nation Army is essentially one idea, reiterated until it becomes unavoidable. This is symphonic thinking used in an American Rock band in the 21st century!' Don't miss our Felix Klieser Plays Strauss concerts (20 & 21 Feb) bit.ly/4rFGtVN 📸 Kris Van de Sande

@JKnussen @GBSasakawa @OzoneMakoto Thank you Jenn!

@RSNO @GBSasakawa I saw him perform last night... what a musician! He stole the audience's heart ❤️ @OzoneMakoto Bravo 👏

If you're attending our Valentine's Concerts this week you'll be treated to pianist Makoto Ozone performing Rachmaninov’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini! 🎹 Conducted by Kevin John Edusei and supported by @GBSasakawa.

We arrived in Aberdeen and ended the city's three week streak of no sunshine! Or maybe that was just a coincidence, but we thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Music Hall last night conducted by Kevin John Edusei.

Today we welcomed the Cabinet Secretary for Constitution, External Affairs and Culture @AngusRobertson to the RSNO Centre. Mr Robertson met our Chief Executive Alistair Mackie, senior management team and members of the Orchestra, and enjoyed a tour of our award-winning studio.

We're proud to share the trailer for The Adventures of Yoyo, our four brand-new, short animated films created in partnership with @visiblefictions. Designed for Nursery to Primary 3 children, teachers can access the films and accompanying learning resources for free here: bit.ly/4oNEJsg
