Thomas Søndergård live in City of Edinburgh

Experience Thomas Søndergård live on September 18th

On September 18, 2026, Thomas Søndergård will conduct a concert at Usher Hall in Edinburgh. Søndergård is a Danish conductor known for his clear interpretations and meticulous attention to orchestral detail. His repertoire is broad, encompassing standard classical works alongside contemporary compositions, often highlighting Nordic composers and a generally transparent, emotionally direct musical style. He frequently emphasizes clarity of texture and dynamic range in performances.

Usher Hall, opened in 1879, is Edinburgh’s premier concert venue and a significant landmark within the city. Designed by Robert Rowand Anderson, it’s renowned for its exceptional acoustics – consistently ranked amongst the best in Europe – achieved through its horseshoe-shaped design and careful material selection. Throughout its history, Usher Hall has hosted a wide range of performances, from orchestral concerts and choral works to popular music events. It underwent a major refurbishment completed in 2009 which enhanced both the audience facilities and the acoustic properties of the hall while preserving its Victorian architectural character. The hall holds strong ties with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra who regularly perform there.
