Concert for a Summer’s Night
22 Jun 2023
20:00 - 21:15 (doors open 19:15)
£9-£19 (includes welcome drink)
Scottish Ensemble brings an informal evening of string music to the Grand Gallery, celebrating the long evenings of a Scottish summer.
The Scottish Ensemble’s Concert for a Summer’s Night series is back at the National Museum of Scotland after sell-out performances at venues around Scotland in 2022.
Join us for a musical journey that takes in the well-loved (Debussy’s serene Clair de Lune) and the less expected (including music from jazz legend Chick Corea), introductions from the stage and a chance to chat to musicians afterwards. A perfect way to celebrate summer.
Enjoy a welcome drink in the Collecting Stories gallery from 19:15 – 19:45 before settling in for an evening of superb music in the spectacular Grand Gallery.
