Relaxed Concert: Remembering Duke

The Scottish National Jazz Orchestra in partnership with Care UK, presents a relaxed afternoon version of its Remembering Duke celebration of Duke Ellington’s music specially tailored for older audiences and their families.

Using the Queen’s Hall’s cabaret setting and keeping the auditorium well-lit, the concert will allow attendees to enjoy music that’s designed to evoke memories and lift spirits in a warm, unhurried atmosphere where people can move around or take breaks when required.
 
Lasting between 45 minutes and an hour, the concert will feature many of Duke Ellington’s most familiar compositions played at a comfortable volume by one of Europe’s leading big bands and introduced in a friendly and welcoming way to ensure that everyone feels included.

Tickets are available at the reduced price of £6, with free admission for accompanying carers.

To help create a relaxed atmosphere: 

• Doors open 45 minutes before the start – so there is plenty of time to get settled in
• Wheelchair spaces and welcoming front-of-house staff will be on hand
• There will be brighter lighting levels in the auditorium
• There is no need to keep quiet or sit still and you can come in and out of the auditorium during the performance
• Quiet areas will be available if you need to take a break
• Announcements will be made at the start of the concert and introductions of most pieces
