A festive concert of blockbuster movie hits played by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra with singer Jamie MacDougall.
The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra are playing Christmas at the Movies at Usher Hall on Monday 21 December, just a few nights before Christmas Day. It's a concert of movie hits performed by a full symphony orchestra, with singer Jamie MacDougall joining them on stage. The programme is built around cinematic sound, so you'll get soaring melodies and pulse-pounding rhythms rather than a quiet night in. They describe it as a festive celebration of blockbuster movie music, with a mix of nostalgia and toe-tapping fun pitched at audiences of all ages.
Usher Hall on Lothian Road is Edinburgh's main venue for visiting national and international orchestras, and it's been the primary home of the Edinburgh International Festival since 1947. The building dates back to 1896, when Andrew Usher gave £100,000 to the City of Edinburgh to found a concert hall. Its Beaux Arts hall was completed in 1914 and remains one of the city's architectural gems, with acoustics praised as being among the best in Europe.
