RSNO: Pictures At An Exhibition will be performed at Usher Hall in Edinburgh on 11 December 2026 at 19:30. The programme includes Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, a Chopin piece played by Rafał Blechacz, and a work by Thea Musgrave. A pre-concert talk at 18:45 provides insight into the music for ticket holders. The concert runs for approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes including a 20-minute interval.
All music paints pictures, but Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition takes them to the next level. Dancing chickens, glowing skulls, witches, gnomes and the sound of a thousand bells –they’re all here, large as life, and to see them you only have to listen. But that’s just one highlight of an evening that opens in Poland with a love letter from Chopin played by the amazing Rafał Blechacz and features a real surprise from Scotland’s own Thea Musgrave. A guaranteed sighting of Nessie? Hearing is believing! Gain insight into the music with our musicians at the pre-concert talk at 6.45pm in the Upper Circle Bar in Edinburgh and the Clyde Foyer in Glasgow. Free to ticket holders. The running time of this concert is approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes including a 20-minute interval.
