About This Event

On 20 September 2026, Sir Karl Jenkins will conduct a memorable performance at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, marking the centrepiece of which is his celebrated composition "The Armed Man." This powerful work, alongside selections from other notable pieces such as Palladio and Adiemus, will be brought to life by the Scottish Concert Orchestra and a choir. The evening will also feature the haunting vocals of mezzo-soprano Kathryn Rudge and the evocative sounds of muezzin Osama Kiwan. Directed with his characteristic skill, this concert promises to deliver an emotionally resonant and musically diverse experience.
