Glasgow's Concert Halls' very own International Classical Season features a hand-picked selection of the world's most accomplished and inspirational classical musicians. You'll find a whole range of top class performances by a host of artists from almost every continent. Read More...
We celebrate star names alongside new and emerging talent, and offer the chance to hear magnificent artists within the same season as younger more groundbreaking musicians.
The Season takes place across all of our prestigious venues – the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, City Halls and Old Fruitmarket. This means that you'll be able to hear each musician or orchestra in the best possible acoustic space.
Another glittering new season to be shared between two world-class venues… the line-up is so starry its combined glow could probably illuminate the entire stretch of the M8.
