About

Music in the University produces a programme of concerts that run throughout the academic year.

In 2025, most of these concerts will take place at lunchtime (1.10pm - 2pm) and are generously supported by the University's Ferguson Bequest. The support from the Bequest means that the programme, featuring performances from a range of professional musicians, can be offered to everyone free of charge. 

Students, staff and members of the public are all welcome at these concerts, which will take place in the University Concert Hall located on the Gilmorehill campus.

In addition, the long established McEwen Bequest offers a new work, commissioned by staff from the University Music Department, which is premiered within the concert series each year featuring established Scottish musicians as well as emerging young artists.
