On 5 November 2026, at Glasgow's City Halls, the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra will present Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5 under the baton of Ryan Wigglesworth. This afternoon performance will feature additional works by Russian composers such as Antoine Lyadov and Mussorgsky, creating a compelling narrative through music. A special soprano soloist will join the ensemble, adding emotional depth to the evening. Tickets are currently available for £17.50 when booked in advance or £20.50 if purchased within two weeks of the concert date.
Tickets On Sale: Thursday 14 May 2026, 10am Antoly Lyadov Baba Yaga and The Enchanted Lake (c.10 mins) Mussorgsky Songs of Dances and Death (c.22 mins) interval Tchaikovsky Symphony No.5 (c.47 mins) Sophie Bevan soprano Ryan Wigglesworth conductor Once upon a time… Russia was always a land of storytellers. Why would its composers be any different? Today Ryan Wigglesworth opens that storybook and shares what comes out. There’s a witch in a hut with hen’s legs, and a lake that might harbour supernatural beings, or a whole lost city (anything’s possible in the magical sound-world of Prokofiev’s teacher Anatoly Lyadov). Things take a turn for the macabre and Death rides a general’s horse, as soprano Sophie Bevan sings Mussorgsky’s blackly comic songs. And then it’s over to Tchaikovsky, and a symphony of sorrow, joy and simply glorious melodies. “With desire and passion” wrote Tchaikovsky on the score of his Fifth Symphony, and you’re about to hear why.
