Beatson, Janiczek and Higham play Schubert's Piano Trio D929.

Brass ensemble Alba Brass, all former RSAMD (now RCS) students, bring a very special guest in trumpet virtuoso John Wallace, principal of their alma mater.

In what will surely be the mane event for fans of international violin-playing, André Rieu mops up the permanent wave of enthusiasm for his signature style, and returns to the UK to do what only he and his instrument can do.

Organ recital.

Wind quintet formed in 2010, with a repertoire from Haydn to MacMillan.

Sarah Chang is the soloist in Barber's Violin Concerto, plus there's Tsontakis' Let the River Be Unbroken, a musical panorama the American Civil War, and Copland's rousing Symphony No 3, as stirring a piece of post-war optimism as has ever been written, climaxing as it does with the ever-popular Fanfare for the Common…

Miss this one and you may not get another chance for years: first there's the UK premiere of very hip young US composer Sean Shepherd's Blue Blazes, then Gershwin's Piano Concerto with soloist Freddy Kempff, and to round it all off in high style, Charles Ives' seldom-played Symphony No 2, one of those big ol' American…

Quintet of brass players from the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.

Musical classics from the big screen, conducted by Matt Dunkley and presented by Jamie MacDougall.

Vaughan Williams' A Sea Symphony was the first major work by its composer and for all its rambling nature, it was a breath of salty air in English music of the time – and considerably more interesting, in its way, than Beethoven's fine but rather Mozart-y Piano Concerto No 1, here performed by Steven Osborne. Andrew Manze…

When Dvořák wrote his Cello Concerto, it was partly to prove to himself that he could write one at all; the result is one of the best-loved works in the repertoire. Here it's paired with Talich's arrangement of the suite from Janáček's Cunning Little Vixen and Bartok's sombre Concerto for Orchestra. Joshua Roman is the…

Aaron Kernis' Newly Drawn Sky is a popular work by this respected American neo-romantic, and it's paired here with Grieg's Piano Concerto featuring Lars Vogt. Finally, Shostakovich's Symphony No 1 is full of youthful high spirits. Donald Runnicles conducts.

Donald Runnicles conducts Beethoven's Symphony No 4, Shostakovich's Violin Concerto No 1 with soloist James Ehnes, and Adams' jazz symphony City Noir.

Britten's Quatre chansons françaises features soprano Elizabeth Watts, who also returns at the end for the concert's climax: Mahler's poised (and, for him, relatively concise) Symphony No 4. In the meantime, there's Britten's Gloriana: Symphonic Suite. Martyn Brabbins conducts.

German Japanese maestro Jun Märkl conducts Messiaen's seldom-heard Les Offrandes Oubliées and Poèmes Pour Mi with soprano Gweneth-Ann Jeffers, followed by Debussy's hypnotic Images.

Copland's Quiet City features Mark O'Keeffe and James Horan on trumpet and cor anglais respectively; then Steven Osborne is the soloist for Beethoven's good-humoured Piano Concerto No 2. Finally, Schumann's fate-defying Symphony No 2. Andrew Manze conducts.

Denis Kozhukhin (piano) is the soloist for Rachmaninov's Concerto No 2, but there's also Nielsen's Symphony No 4 and A Freak in Burbank, an orchestral piece by the acclaimed young Swedish composer Albert Schnelzer, inspired in equal parts by Haydn and Tim Burton. (Tim Burton should do a Haydn biopic.) Thomas Dausgaard…

Towards the end of the Cold War, the late Lewis Thomas wrote that listening to Mahler's Symphony No 9 made him think about 'death everywhere, the dying of everything, the end of humanity'. There's no doubt that Mahler had something similar in mind, even if he did his best to complete a tenth symphony before bacterial…

Donald Runnicles conducts a completion by the great Robert Levin of Mozart's unfinished masterpiece, also featuring the National Youth Choir of Scotland and guest soloists Miah Persson (soprano), Christine Rice (mezzo), Jeremy Ovenden (tenor) and Neal Davies (bass). But first, young American virtuoso Alisa Weilerstein is…

Paganini commissioned Berlioz's Harold in Italy as a showcase for his new viola, but when he got the manuscript he rejected it; on finally hearing someone else play it years later, he dragged Berlioz onto the stage and kissed his hand. Virtuosi, eh? Antoine Tamestit is the violist here, in a concert that also features…

American baritone Hampson sings a selection of songs from Mahler, preceded by Britten's The Building of the House and all wrapped up with Mahler's epic, transcendental, overpowering (it's just really, really good, okay?) Symphony No 5. Donald Runnicles conducts.

Andrew Manze conducts Vaughan Williams' Symphony No 7, reworked by the composer from the music he wrote for Charles Frend's stiff-upper-lipped 1948 classic Scott of the Antarctic, and featuring Katherine Broderick (soprano) and Women of the Glasgow Chamber Choir. Also featured are Tippett's Divertimento on Sellinger's…
