8. Bernstein - Kaddish Symphony
A rare chance to see the Royal Scottish National Orchestra play one of Leonard Bernstein's lesser-known works, a stunning interpretation of the Jewish Prayer for the Dead, dedicated to the memory of John F. Kennedy. It's sure to be an emotional evening and as much a celebration of life as a commemoration of death - one not to be missed. Oh, and as a bonus, you get Samuel Barber's violin concerto as well. Win! Usher Hall August 24th
