BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra

Formed in December 1935, the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra is recognised as one of the UK's leading orchestras. The winner of several awards, including a Royal Philharmonic Society Award and four Gramophone Awards, its wide repertoire and flexible approach means it can perform complex contemporary pieces alongside major symphonic works. The orchestra performs regularly in Glasgow, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Perth, Inverness and Ayr, tours internationally and appears at the BBC Proms and Edinburgh International Festival. The orchestra has a busy broadcasting schedule on BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio Scotland and BBC Television and also records commercially.
