The weather may not be a reliable indication that, yes, it really is summer now, but a glance at the RSNO programme proves that it must be. This is the time of year when the orchestra lets its hair down and plays a whole series of light hearted music and some of the best loved symphonic repertoire ever penned. The ever popular Last Night of the Proms is conducted for the first time by associate conductor, James Lowe, who is handed this rather important baton remarkably early in his RSNO career. Find out why when he appears with wunderkind Nicola Benedetti, Caledon and vocalist Karen Matheson (pictured). ‘ 7 Royal Concert Hall, Glasgow. until Sat 2 Jul.
