Monster Music's Teddy Bears' Picnic

On 17 & 18 Apr 2013, Monster Music hosted a Teddy Bears' Picnic at Henry Wood Hall.  Families and children were invited to join presenter and actor Claire Knight, alongside a special 'guest appearance' from a giant bear (well, it was a Teddy Bears' Picnic), to sing and dance along in an informal setting, with live musical accompaniment of the RSNO. 

The concert proved to be a huge success, and received a 5* review in The Herald Scotland, which you can read here.

RSNO Engage has launched!

These are extremely exciting times for the RSNO, as the organisation continues to move from strength to strength.  We've had a more than successful 2012:13 Season,  with Peter Oundjian joining us for a second Season as Musical Director for 2013:14. 

On Thursday 6th June, the RSNO launched its new Learning and Education programme, RSNO Engage.  

The launch will lead to an overhaul of its schools concerts, a new programme to support young musicians starting their professional music careers, a nationwide RSNO Young Ambassadors initiative, a Highlands residency in 2014, development of a long-term relationship with young musicians in Perth and a pilot interactive music initiative for 0-2 year olds in Aberdeen.
