Past event: Midsummer Gala Ball

Saturday 29 June 2024 at Prestonfield House, Edinburgh

With music from the Orchestra and the RSNO Big Band, a sumptuous three course meal, a thrilling Silent Auction, a round of Mozart or Madonna and dancing until 1am, a fantastic time was had by all.

The Ball raised over £73,000 which will go towards continuing the work of Scotland’s National Orchestra on stage and in the community. Thank you to everyone who made the event such a success!

Past event: Annual Chairs Reception

Every year the Chair of the RSNO Board of Directors hosts a reception for the Orchestra’s Patrons, Corporate Partners, and Virtuoso Circle Members. Held at the French Institute, Edinburgh, it’s a chance for the RSNO Board and Chief Executive to say thank you to some of our supporters whilst sharing updates for the year ahead.
