Pekka Kuusisto live in Glasgow

Experience Pekka Kuusisto live on March 12th

Pekka Kuusisto will perform at City Halls, Glasgow on March 12, 2027. Kuusisto is a Finnish violinist and conductor known for a highly individualistic approach to performance and repertoire. His musical style frequently blends classical traditions with influences from folk music, improvisation, and contemporary sound worlds. He is recognised for his energetic stage presence and commitment to exploring the emotional core of music, often performing from memory and encouraging audience engagement. He frequently commissions new works and champions lesser-known composers alongside established masters.

City Halls, located in the heart of Glasgow, is a significant concert venue with a rich history. Originally completed in 1886 as part of a complex including the Municipal Buildings, it was designed by William B. Black in the Victorian Italianate style. The main hall, the main performance space, boasts exceptional acoustics and has hosted a wide range of performances since its opening, including orchestral concerts, chamber music recitals, and choral events. The building underwent substantial refurbishment in the early 2000s to enhance its facilities while preserving its architectural heritage. It remains an important cultural landmark within Glasgow’s civic centre.
