About This Event

The Queens Hall Edinburgh will host a music show by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra on 29 October 2026 at 19:30. The show will centre on two of Barber's most powerful works. The price is available on the venue's website.

Ryan Bancroft conductor Clara-Jumi Kang violin Ryan Bancroft brings his trademark energy to an evening centred on two of Barber’s most powerful works. First Clara-Jumi Kang performs the Violin Concerto, bringing her compelling insight and dazzling virtuosity to this beautiful work. Then the Orchestra performs Barber’s instantly recognisable Adagio, made popular thanks to its use in powerful film moments, such as Platoon and The Elephant Man. Framing these works, the concert opens with Schulhoff’s jazz-tinged Suite for Chamber Orchestra, and closes with Kurt Weill’s darkly brilliant Second Symphony, a striking contrast to the intimate intensity of Barber’s music.
