28th March 2026 – 7pm – Inverness Cathedral – ‘From the New World‘
For our spring 2026 concert, Inverness Symphony Orchestra will be joined by the outstanding double bassist Jamie Kenny, principal with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, for the fantastic and fiendish Concerto for Double Bass and Orchestra by Estonian composer Eduard Tubin. The virtuosity and rhythmic drive of this piece will make a perfect companion to one of the best known and most emotive of all Romantic orchestral works: Antonín Dvořák’s much-loved Symphony No.9. The surging Egmont Overture by Beethoven completes our March line-up.

14th June 2026 – 3pm – Inverness Cathedral – ‘Opera Extraordinaire’
Our summer concert “Opera Extraordinaire” is the second of three performances celebrating this tenth anniversary.
December 2026 – ‘Tall tales and folk fantasy‘
The year will culminate in our winter programme “Tall Tales and Folk Fantasy” which features a much-anticipated solo appearance by Mark Osborne in Rimsky-Korsakov’s colourful showpiece, Scheherazade. Alongside the exoticism of One Thousand and One Nights, we play Paul Dukas’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, based on Goethe’s depiction of a chaotic magician’s workshop. Smetana’s famous tone picture of the Vltava river and the terrifically dark and swirling Ruy Blas Overture by Mendelssohn complete the line-up.
