Grateful thanks to audience members for these captures from this weekend’s performances of the Mozart Requiem in Edinburgh and Glasgow with @rsno.bsky.social. What a memorable experience it has been 🎶🙌🏼

Thank you for your kind words! His name is Paul Whittaker.

@rsno.bsky.social Wonderful, heartrenching performance of Mozart’s Requiem tonight. Did not expect a BSL performance but (as a non Latin speaker but fluent in BSL) it gave so much meaning and emotion to the performance. Genuinely brilliant. Thank you

“Dove’s music was as viscerally powerful as it was clever… played with vigour and masses of character by a top-form RSNO under Ellie Slorach’s crisp, precise direction.”

We’ve been season ticket holders with RSNO for years. THIS WAS THE BEST CONCERT EXPERIENCE we’ve ever had, and we’ve heard some FABULOUS concerts. Standing ovations in the Usher Hall never happen. But they did tonight.
