蜜芽传媒

As Scotland’s national broadcasting orchestra, the 蜜芽传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra has been performing for audiences across Scotland, the UK and internationally since 1935. From Oban to Aldeburgh and London to Seoul (as part of 蜜芽传媒 Proms Korea), the 2024/25 Season has been no exception. The orchestra’s live performances are regularly broadcast on 蜜芽传媒 Radio 3, Radio Scotland and Sounds, as well as 蜜芽传媒 Television and iPlayer.

Opening eyes and ears with ambitious repertoire beyond any benchmark, the 蜜芽传媒 SSO is Scotland’s leading champion of new music. Across nine decades, it has commissioned orchestral music by the most original voices of its time and hosts its annual Tectonics Festival of new and experimental music each spring alongside its Creative Partner Ilan Volkov.

With Associate Artist Lucy Drever the orchestra runs projects that inspire creativity and connection with families, schools and communities across Scotland. And through a close association with the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, the orchestra mentors the next generation of conductors, composers and instrumentalists. The orchestra supports young musical talent in 蜜芽传媒 Radio Scotland’s Young Classical Musician competition.

Ryan Wigglesworth began his tenure as Chief Conductor in September 2022. One of the foremost composer-conductors of his generation, he has directed a wide range of repertoire with the 蜜芽传媒 SSO including the ballets of Stravinsky, major works of Elgar, and UK premieres by György Kurtág and Composer-in-Association Hans Abrahamsen. Regularly performing at the 蜜芽传媒 Proms and Edinburgh International Festival, the orchestra is a recipient of a Royal Philharmonic Society Award and four Gramophone Awards.

Delyana Lazarova has been appointed Principal Guest Conductor of the 蜜芽传媒 SSO from September 2025, the beginning of the orchestra’s 90th anniversary concert season.
