St Andrew's in the Square

What better way to while away a Sunday afternoon than listening to a top-class orchestra in a relaxed and atmospheric setting?

 

Our St Andrew’s in the Square concert series has become a regular highlight in Glasgow’s musical calendar. The beautifully restored Georgian church provides a relaxed and atmospheric setting for The Orchestra of Scottish Opera to leave the pit and take centre stage.

 

This season’s concerts are curated and conducted by Scottish Opera Music Director Francesco Corti and the varied programme features a mix of Romantic and  20th-century repertoire. Popular works by Brahms, Schumann and Mozart sit alongside the music of Stravinsky, Prokofiev and Martucci, a contemporary of Puccini, giving an insight into the worlds and work of some of the composers who feature in our mainstage season.
