View all →About This Event
The RSNO: Shostakovich Seven will take place at Usher Hall in Edinburgh on 2026-10-30. The event is a musical performance by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. The music features Dmitri Shostakovich's Seventh Symphony. The ticket price is available on the venue's website.
As Hitler’s armies surrounded the city of Leningrad, Dmitri Shostakovich composed his Seventh Symphony – a shout of courage, defiance and victory, written for massed battalions of musicians. Brace yourself for wartime drama on a heroic scale as Bassem Akiki conducts the mighty RSNO in this sonic blockbuster: the climax of a concert that begins with Copland’s showstopping fanfare and stars a real RSNO favourite, violinist Philippe Quint, in a violin concerto with a dazzling difference. 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 2 hours, including a 20-minute interval.
