SPRING CONCERTS

6th January 2026

This spring sees us back at our favourite small venues

On 27 February, we’re back at Cafe Yukari for a performance by jazz pianist and composer Ben Shankland, winner of BBC Scotland Young Jazz Musician, and described as “the perfect all-round musician”.

If purely classical music is your thing, why not join us on Tuesday 3 March for a concert by cellist Alice Neary with pianist Viv McLean in a programme of music spanning two centuries by Bach, Fuchs and Brahms.

And on 23 April we have our annual celebration of Shakespeare’s birthday with Sweet Harmony at the 1901 Arts Club. A programme of music and words celebrates the genius of Shakespeare, performed by pianists Viv McLean and Tyler Hay and friends. Meet the artists after the concert and mingle with other music lovers.
