As one of Europe's leading symphony orchestras, the RSNO will once again be led this Season by the talented Stéphane Denève. Having recently extended his contract until 2011, his long-term ambitions for the orchestra include foreign tours on three continents.
Denève follows in the footsteps of a host of conductors who have contributed to the orchestra's success including Walter Susskind, Sir Alexander Gibson, Bryden Thomson, Neeme Järvi, Walter Weller and Alexander Lazarev. Read More...
The RSNO performs across Scotland and recently toured Austria and Croatia, with two spectacular concerts in the Musikverein in Vienna. The orchestra also appears regularly at the Edinburgh International Festival and the BBC Proms in London.
With a world-wide reputation for the quality of its recordings, over 200 releases are available. The RSNO's 2002 recording of Holst's The Planets (Lloyd-Jones) has rapidly become one of the biggest selling classical recordings of the last decade.
The orchestra is highly innovative and strives to develop musical talent and appreciation with people of all ages throughout Scotland. Additionally, RSNO musiconline was launched in 2006 – an Internet music streaming and download service which allows subscription access to over 60,000 classical recordings via the RSNO website.
