rsno: out and about / march 2013

OUT AND ABOUT IN STIRLING with the rsno Welcome

Scotland’s National Orchestra is Out and About across Stirling this March. In collaboration with Stirling Council’s arts team, the RSNO has devised a packed programme of concerts, workshops and music-making throughout the region.

We’ll be performing a full symphony concert at the Albert Halls, creating a massed voice choir for a unique choral recital, presenting a ballroom-styled Tea Dance, partnering music and food for a unique multi-sensory experience and collaborating with local musicians to create an evening of new music.

In between these public events, players from the RSNO will also be performing at local primary schools, working with music students in every secondary school in the region, inspiring nursery children with Mini Monster Music, visiting care homes and sheltered housing and taking music to the heart of the community.

Join us for a week long celebration of music all around Stirlingshire!
