About

Music in the University offers a free public concert series consisting of of lunchtime and evening concerts throughout the academic year. Many of these concerts are generously supported by the University's Ferguson Bequest. In addition, the long established McEwen Bequest enables us to commission a new work which is premiered within the concert series each year featuring established Scottish musicians as well as emerging young artists. Lunchtime concerts funded by either of these Bequest funds are free of charge.
