music here for over 50 years. We give 3 main
concerts each year, usually in March, May and
November. You can find out lots more about the
orchestra and its music in the pages of this web-
site. Hopefully, you will be encouraged to come
along to a concert, or if you are a musician, you

Spring Concert
Another great night at the Glasgow Royal
Concert Hall for the GCO and the Glasgow
Hospitals Choir, with their annual Christmas
Concert in aid of Young Lives versus
Cancer. A packed house sang, danced and
clapped to a medley of Christmas carols and
festive tunes. Soloist Nicky Spence raised
the roof with Nessun Dorma, while the GCO
featured a movement from Tchaikovsky’s
Swan Lake suite, complete with dancers!
For many, this evening marks the real start
of the Christmas season - a festive musical
feast for a fantastic cause. Thanks to
everyone who took part.
