The West of Scotland Schools Symphony Orchestra and Concert Band will perform their final concert of the 2026 season at Glasgow’s City Halls this August. The performance marks the culmination of a season of intensive study and rehearsal for advanced young musicians drawn from across West and Central Scotland.

The performers represent the most advanced tier of the West of Scotland Schools’ ensembles.
