Experience Maxim Emelyanychev live on May 14th

Maxim Emelyanychev, a Russian-born countertenor renowned for his interpretations of Baroque and classical repertoire, is scheduled to perform at City Halls, Glasgow on May 14th, 2027. Emelyanychev’s vocal style is characterized by agility, expressive ornamentation, and a distinctive timbre, frequently showcased in works by composers such as Handel, Vivaldi, and Porpora. He often performs with period instrument ensembles, prioritizing historically informed performance practice. He also leads the baroque orchestra Il Pomo d’Oro from the harpsichord.

City Halls occupies a significant place within Glasgow's cultural landscape. Originally constructed in 1889 as part of the International Exhibition held in Kelvingrove Park, the building was later dismantled and rebuilt in its current location on Candleriggs in 1900. Designed by William B. Black, it served initially as a municipal hall and courtroom before being repurposed primarily as a concert venue. The building is noted for its ornate Victorian architecture and excellent acoustics. It is currently managed by Glasgow Life, the cultural organisation responsible for delivering culture and sport services on behalf of Glasgow City Council.
