Comprising instrumentalists from the Music Department and across the University, the Symphony Orchestra is one of Aberdeen’s leading ensembles. We aspire to be a flagship orchestra for the northeast of Scotland, performing a wide range of repertoire including classical and romantic favourites, forgotten masterpieces, and brand new works by living composers. Our first concert this year will be on 6 December in Aberdeen’s Music Hall and takes as its theme music inspired by Greek mythology. The programme will include Debussy’s Prélude à L’après-midi d’un faune alongside works by Beethoven, Offenbach and Augusta Holmès.
