About This Event

Children’s Classic Concerts presents Elf Academy at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh on 13 December 2026. The production is developed by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, the RSNO Children’s Chorus and the Manor School of Ballet under head elf Owen Gunnell. It uses a school-themed narrative to launch the festive season through music and performance.

Hands up who’s ready to enrol in the Elf Academy! The Class of 2026 is getting ready to hit those books, sharpen those pencils and get their heads down to some serious(!) work. Children’s Classic Concerts’ Head Elf, Owen Gunnell, is joining forces with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, the RSNO Children’s Chorus and the Manor School of Ballet to launch your family’s festive season. With musical maths classes to attend, wintery PE sessions to negotiate and, of course, everyone’s favourite Christmas dinner assignment in Home Economics, this is education elf-style. The question is, will it be an A for Owen, or the dreaded detention? Supported by Maurice & Nicola Taylor Charitable Trust
