The Lloyds TSB Scotland Concerts challenge the conventions of concert going and the traditions of how audiences experience music.

For three nights each week there are three concerts a night, each concert is approximately an hour in length and each features the work of one composer. Across the nine evenings there is the opportunity to hear all nine Beethoven symphonies conducted by Sir Charles Mackerras at 5.30pm, and to hear nine of Bruckner’s symphonies performed by leading orchestras and conductors at 9.30pm. At 7.30pm the focus is on a masterwork by one composer.

The Lloyds TSB Scotland Concerts can be enjoyed horizontally or vertically, by attending all 27, by collecting symphonies or by choosing the concerts that most appeal at times which can be worked into flexible Festival days, for one ticket price of £10.
