Maxim Emelyanychev live in Glasgow

Experience Maxim Emelyanychev live on March 19th

Maxim Emelyanychev, a Russian-born harpsichordist and conductor, will perform at City Halls, Glasgow on March 19, 2027. Emelyanychev is known for his dynamic and historically informed performances of Baroque and Classical music, often challenging conventional interpretations with energetic tempos and a focus on instrumental colour. He frequently performs both as a soloist on the harpsichord and as a conductor from the keyboard, leading ensembles in interpretations that aim to recreate the vitality of original performance practices. His repertoire extends beyond standard concertos to include lesser-known works and arrangements designed to broaden audience engagement with early music.

City Halls opened in 1909 as part of Glasgow’s municipal buildings complex. Originally designed to house council offices, the building quickly gained recognition for its exceptional acoustics and was repurposed as a significant concert venue. The main hall boasts an Italian Renaissance style and has hosted a diverse range of performances including orchestral concerts, chamber music recitals, and choral works. It is currently managed by Glasgow Life, a cultural organisation dedicated to promoting arts and culture within the city. The hall underwent extensive renovations in the late 20th century to improve facilities while preserving its original architectural features.
