Inspired by the great brass band traditions of Eastern Europe, Orkestra del Sol’s music exudes energy and spirit: the swagger of a Balkan wedding band, the vibrancy of a Caribbean festival and the flair of a Latin ballroom. Globally inspired, but distilled in Scotland. Admission Tickets standing £11 to £13, seated £17 to £19. Contact Perth Concert Hall, Telephone 0845 612 6320. Hogmanay Scotland.
