The Ukrainian National Philharmonic Orchestra plays a programme of classical music at the Usher Hall.
The Ukrainian National Philharmonic Orchestra play Usher Hall on Saturday 27 February 2027, with a programme described as classical elegance and romantic passion. It's a full orchestral night, so expect the big, sweeping sound the hall is built for.
There's a weight to this one that goes beyond the music. The orchestra has continued to perform for more than four years under fire, and that context sits behind every note they play. It's a long way from home, and the fact they're still touring and playing is part of the story.
They're playing at Usher Hall on Lothian Road, which is the city's main venue for visiting national and international orchestras. It's been the primary home of the Edinburgh International Festival since 1947, and the building itself goes back to 1896, when Andrew Usher gave £100,000 to the city to found a concert hall. The Beaux Arts hall was completed in 1914 and is still one of Edinburgh's architectural gems, with acoustics that are frequently cited as some of the best in Europe.
