We all love a bit of merch, and last night our tour merchandise arrived for our imminent trip to Budapest. We’re all hugely looking forward to sporting our hoodies, zoodies, T-shirts and polos around the streets and squares of Hungary’s beautiful capital. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇭🇺❤️🎶

Always great to welcome new members to the RSNO Chorus. And a baptism of fire it was for them: Mozart’s Mass in C minor and a beautiful choral work by Clara Schumann, Drei gemischte chöre which was new to us all…❤️🎶 cc @srtristan.bsky.social

Wonderful week being blown away by the @rsno.bsky.social.😊 Last weekend Mozart, this, John Williams. So grateful to have this fantastic orchestra on our doorstep. Special 👏 to @mcpaulz.bsky.social on timpani & Tim Orpen on clarinet but the whole orchestra gives us the most amazing music. Joyous.🎶🩷

Three choirs, three conductors and a prodigious organist. Thank you Tallahassee Community Chorus and Nashville Symphony Chorus for inviting us to take part in last night’s choral jamboree at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall; we loved every minute. André Thomas’ Gospel Mass was a real hit 🎶❤️

Lovely. During our Chorus Jamboree at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall yesterday, our Youth Chorus performed the world premier of four songs from Hepplewhite’s (and Seth Bockley’s) The World We Share. Beautiful works, ecstatically received. 🙌🏼🎶 @rsno.bsky.social

Aren’t these wonderful experiences, Eluned? Audiences are in raptures, and as you say, many never having been to a symphony orchestra concert before. This from our last concert with Eimear Noone in May 2023 at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh. 🙌🏼🎶

Three meditations on death and mourning with the RSNO in Edinburgh

Mozart's Requiem packs in the crowd, but it's Berg's Violin Concerto with Carolin Widmann that really finds the spiritual depth.
