Mendelssohn inspired by his visit to the Hebrides, music from Verdi's operatic version of 'the Scottish play', Peter Maxwell Davies' tribute to the Orkney community where he went to live in the 1970s... we go north of the border for our New Year's Eve party this year. Hucknall-born Eric Coates dedicated his Three Elizabeths to Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother whose ancestral home was Glamis Castle. There's even a connection with Bruch, who for two years conducted what's now the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. As usual, we also have some items from the Strauss family. And come prepared to join in some well-known Scots songs. Happy Hogmanay!

sinfonia VIVA's New Year's Eve Gala Concert is the perfect curtain-raiser to your own celebrations, scheduled to conclude before 10pm to give you plenty of time for counting down to the sound of Big Ben... and the start of another season of great concerts. So join effervescent Conductor Nicholas Kok and gold medal-winning Sony BMG artist Mayuko Kamio (violin) for a terrific evening of marvellous music in a wonderfully warm atmosphere!
