Experience Scottish Chamber Orchestra live on September 2nd

The Scottish Chamber Orchestra will perform at the SEC Armadillo in Glasgow on September 2nd, 2026. The orchestra is recognised for its versatile repertoire, primarily focusing on core classical and romantic works, alongside a strong commitment to contemporary music and Scottish compositions. Established in 1974, the SCO distinguishes itself through its flexible instrumentation and emphasis on chamber music principles even within larger orchestral settings, fostering a particularly responsive and nuanced sound.

The SEC Armadillo, officially opened in 1997 as part of the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre complex, is a prominent concert and events venue in Glasgow. Its distinctive elliptical shape – resembling an armadillo’s shell – was designed by architect Norman Foster. The auditorium is renowned for its excellent acoustics and capacity of approximately 3,000 seats. It regularly hosts a diverse range of performances including classical concerts, musical theatre, ballet, and large-scale conferences. The venue's design prioritises both functionality and aesthetic appeal, contributing significantly to Glasgow’s cultural landscape. It has become a key location for national and international events within Scotland.
