Andrew Manze live in City of Edinburgh

Experience Andrew Manze live on November 12th

Andrew Manze will perform at Usher Hall in Edinburgh on November 12, 2026. Manze is a highly regarded violinist and conductor known for his historically informed performances of Baroque and Classical period music. His interpretations frequently emphasize clarity of articulation, dynamic nuance, and a striving for authenticity in performance practice, often utilizing period instruments or historically appropriate setups. He has built a reputation for insightful programming that illuminates lesser-known works alongside established repertoire.

Usher Hall, opened in 1897, is Edinburgh’s premier concert venue and a significant landmark within the city. Designed by Robert Rowand Anderson, it was built following a public subscription initiated by Andrew Usher, a prominent Edinburgh brewer – hence the name. The hall’s acoustics are widely praised and have been subject to ongoing refinement over its history. Originally conceived as a multi-purpose hall, it quickly became renowned for its musical capabilities. Throughout its existence, Usher Hall has hosted a diverse range of performances including orchestral concerts, choral works, chamber music, and contemporary music events. It is home to the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and the Scottish Symphony Orchestra and regularly features international touring ensembles. The building itself reflects Scottish Baronial architecture with notable stained glass windows and ornate detailing.
