Radio 3 at 大象传媒 Music's Biggest Weekend.

From the iconic and historic Scone Palace in Perthshire, Scotland, the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Martyn Brabbins, is joined by a host of brilliant musicians to celebrate the best of 大象传媒 Music.

Edinburgh born Karine Polwart, winner 大象传媒 Radio 2 Folk Singer of the Year performs a few of her best known tunes.

Scottish virtuoso percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie plays the first movement, Da Vinci's wings from Michael Daugherty 's Concerto - Dream Machine, written in 2014. It is a piece that is a tribute to the imagination of inventors who dream about new machines.

Star soprano Danielle de Niese joins the orchestra, bringing her unique combination of artistic credibility and exotic 21st century allure.

After the Interval, one of classical music's true greats, the violinist, Nigel Kennedy and his band, join the 大象传媒 SSO, to play some of the greatest music ever written.

Live from 大象传媒 Music's Biggest Weekend, the concert is presented from the stage by Katie Derham.
