Scottish Olympic heroes Allan Wells, Liz McColgan, David Wilkie and Aileen McGlynn, will come together at Glasgow's Clyde Auditorium as part of a series of nationwide live music events counting down to the London 2012 Festival. They appear on stage, alongside the combined forces of the National Youth Orchestra of Scotland, Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Sistema Scotland, and the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra, with celebrated violinist Nicola Benedetti and 大象传媒 Radio Scotland's Young Traditional Musician of the Year 2011, Kristan Harvey. There is also a combined choir made from the National Youth Choir of Scotland and Royal Conservation of Scotland. It will be conducted by Stephen Bell.

This celebration of music and sport will include performances of John Williams' Olympic Fanfare, Vangelis's theme from Chariots of Fire, Ravel's Bolero, music from Carl Orff's Carmina Burana and the world premiere of a newly commissioned fanfare from acclaimed Scottish composer James MacMillan.
