What an interesting couple of weeks this has been. Touring across Europe and now gearing up for a one country remit of our Out and About week. Out and About week takes place across one week in the year when all members of the Orchestra participate in a variety of performances and workshops across different regions.

 

This year sees the Orchestra head north to Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire for a week emerged in local communities and education settings. There are some similarities between our activities that have taken us to some of Europe’s finest concert halls and our education and community work that this year culminates in our Out and About week in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.

 

Now the distances may not be comparable but there are similarities between visiting remote parts of Aberdeenshire and playing to audiences that don’t usually experience the full impact of the RSNO. All 82 members of the orchestra will be participating in a variety of concerts ncluding venues as diverse as Portsoy Salmon Bothy with a very limited number of seats and Torry Academy to name a few.

 

Similarities include the scale and complexity of the logistics of organising well over a hundred people, handled by different departments of the Orchestra including Concerts and did you know we have a dedicated Education and Community team? We'll introduce you later...
