What To Expect
This is an RSNO pops concert rather than a film screening with the complete score. The programme focuses on familiar John Williams themes played live by Scotland’s national orchestra, giving the music room to stand on its own away from the cinema screen.
Richard Kaufman has a long association with film music as both a conductor and former studio musician. His career includes work on film and television projects and performances of live-to-film scores with orchestras in the US and Europe.
Tickets & Venue
The concert takes place at the Usher Hall on Lothian Road. Current ticket bands run from £21 to £54, with discounts listed for several groups.
Book through the official RSNO event page, which also carries the latest programme and ticket information.
Getting There
Usher Hall is on Lothian Road at the western edge of the city centre. Plenty of bus routes serve the street, while the West End tram stop is within walking distance.
The venue is also close to restaurants and bars around Lothian Road and the West End if you are planning an evening around the concert.
Our Tips
- Book earlier if you want a particular price band or seating area.
- Arrive with enough time to clear the foyer before the 7:30pm start.
- This is a good choice for film-music fans who want a concert rather than a full movie screening.
