Maxim Emelyanychev live in City of Edinburgh

Experience Maxim Emelyanychev live on December 3rd

Maxim Emelyanychev, a Russian countertenor renowned for his interpretations of Baroque and early Classical repertoire, will perform at The Queen’s Hall in Edinburgh on December 3rd, 2026. Emelyanychev is noted for his agile vocal technique, expressive phrasing, and a stylistic approach that blends historical performance practice with contemporary sensibilities. He frequently performs both operatic roles and concert works, often directing from the harpsichord or organ as well as singing. His repertoire spans composers such as Handel, Vivaldi, and Scarlatti.

The Queen’s Hall is a prominent concert venue in Edinburgh, Scotland. Opened in 1979 following a public campaign to save the former Free High Church building from demolition, it was originally designed by architect Thomas Hamilton in 1825. The hall's acoustics are highly regarded, making it a favoured location for classical music performances, including orchestral concerts, chamber music recitals and choral events. It has hosted a diverse range of artists across various genres throughout its history but maintains a strong focus on classical and traditional music. The building itself represents an important example of neoclassical architecture within the city.
