Home for Music
Glasgow’s Concert Halls: Home to Celtic Connections, to Scotland’s national orchestras, a platform for musicians from all around the globe.
Iconic venues for musicians and music lovers of many kinds year round: a potent symbol of Glasgow’s musical riches, recognised nationally and internationally; a powerful
engine for music more widely – a fitting focal point for Scotland’s musical capital. In the coming years we aim to build on the fine achievements of recent decades to go further, deeper, wider with
a programme that creates opportunities for musicians and music lovers alike, and make these halls truly a Home for Music.
We bring one of the world's greatest choirs to the immense baroque stone space of Kelvingrove Museum’s Centre Hall: a natural space for reflection and singing.
Our first Artists in Residence are the Pavel Haas Quartet who will come to Glasgow twice a year for the next three years, performing in our Halls and at neighbourhood concerts around the city.
Each January, fans and musicians from around the world flock to Celtic Connections for Glasgow’s 18 day folk, roots, world and traditional music festival.
The wide, wide world is closer than it has ever been and to perform live in our city, we’ll bring you musicians whose traditions are rooted in far distant places.
Four concerts which look back to the golden years of English composition before and between the wars. Elgar, Vaughan Williams, Finzi are among the featured composers.
Over the last 30 years, the Kronos Quartet has constantly challenged the conventions of classical music. We welcome them for a long weekend featuring new work by Steve Reich.
Glasgow’s Concert Halls works with partners including BBC Scotland, Glasgow International Jazz Festival, Jazz International and more to nurture jazz in the city.
We are proud of our learning and participatory programme and we aim to deepen our commitment and extend our work yet further in the coming years.
No musical revolution has been more influential and radical than this fire sparked by Reich, Riley and Glass: Minimalism. Join us for an epic journey through the minimalist landscape.
Join us for a series of extended concerts which will throw light on the lives and works of great composers, and offer world class performances of their work.
Our inspiring twice yearly series of talks in spring and autumn features well-known speakers from the worlds of politics, crime, journalism, entertainment and sport.
