About This Event

The Royal Scottish National Orchestra (RSNO) will present "West Side Story" at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall on October 10, 2026. The programme combines classic works such as Copland's Appalachian Spring with Bernstein's celebrated symphonic dances from West Side Story, alongside a special Scottish premiere of Still Symphony No. 1 Afro-American. Directed by Kellen Gray and featuring pianist Jeneba Kanneh-Mason, the concert is poised to deliver an evocative musical experience that captures both the dramatic energy and rich melodies inherent in these compositions. Audiences can expect a vivid and emotionally resonant performance that pays homage to American classics while introducing local premieres.
