The multiple Grammy Award-nominee ARC Ensemble (Artists of The Royal Conservatory, Toronto) is among Canada’s most distinguished cultural ambassadors. Renowned for performing a wide range of music, their focus on researching and recovering works suppressed under 20th-century repressive regimes has brought many previously unknown masterworks back into the repertoire.

We’re delighted to welcome the ensemble to Scotland, where they will perform Kanitz’s String Quartet in D, Fitelberg’s shimmering Nachtmusik, Frederick Block’s Suite for Clarinet and Piano and Piano Trio No.2.
