As Scotland’s national broadcasting orchestra, the 成人论坛 Scottish Symphony Orchestra has been performing for audiences across Scotland, the UK and internationally since 1935. From Oban to Aldeburgh and London to Seoul (as part of 成人论坛 Proms Korea), 2024 is no exception. The orchestra’s live performances are regularly broadcast on 成人论坛 Radio 3, Radio Scotland and Sounds, as well as 成人论坛 Television and iPlayer.

Opening eyes and ears with ambitious repertoire beyond any benchmark, the 成人论坛 SSO is Scotland’s leading champion of new music. Across nine decades, it has commissioned orchestral music by the most original voices of its time and hosts its annual Tectonics Festival of new and experimental music each spring alongside its Creative Partner Ilan Volkov.

With Associate Artist Lucy Drever the orchestra runs projects that inspire creativity and connection with families, schools and communities across Scotland. And through a close association with the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, the orchestra mentors the next generation of conductors, composers and instrumentalists. In 2024, the orchestra supported young musical talent in 成人论坛 Radio Scotland’s inaugural Young Classical Musician of the Year competition.

Ryan Wigglesworth began his tenure as Chief Conductor in September 2022. One of the foremost composer-conductors of his generation, he has directed a wide range of repertoire with the 成人论坛 SSO including the ballets of Stravinsky, major works of Elgar, and UK premieres by György Kurtág and Composer-in-Association Hans Abrahamsen. Regularly performing at the 成人论坛 Proms and Edinburgh International Festival, the orchestra is a recipient of a Royal Philharmonic Society Award and four Gramophone Awards.
