The event in Glasgow will raise funds for Poppyscotland

Final preparations are being put in place for a special Remembrance Day concert.

The event at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall next month will help to raise vital funds for Poppyscotland.

To add to the evening’s excitement, Royal Scottish National Orchestra’s Shostakovich Twelve will feature a work by Guildhall School of Music and Drama doctoral student and emerging British composer Daniel Kidane.

Gordon Michie, Poppyscotland’s head of fundraising, said: “We are delighted to be working in partnership with RSNO to promote this wonderful World War One-inspired performance and mark the end of the 2017 Poppy Appeal and the beginning of our centenary year.

“There will be a bucket collection after the performance and we would encourage concert-goers to give what they can to remember those who have served our country and so we can go on supporting members of the armed forces community in Scotland by providing tailored funding and assistance.”

Tickets for the concert - on Saturday 11 November at 7.30pm - are on sale now.
