The Royal Scottish National Orchestra (RSNO) is celebrating its corporate links with an Arts and Business Scotland award. The First in a Lifetime Award, is made for “a partnership that has aimed to take the arts to people and places where it doesn't normally go, or created arts opportunities for people who would not normally be engaged”. The win was for the Orchestra’s partnership with TOTAL E&P UK Limited, Capital Solutions, Loganair and NorthLink Ferries in connection with its Out and About week in Shetland last March, but it was also commended for its work with Glasgow Airport for the impromptu ‘flashmob’ performance of Ravel’s Boléro in 2011. RSNO Chief Executive Michael Elliott said: “Without the support of our key partners we would not have the scope to challenge the boundaries of what arts organisations can achieve. It is testament to the strength of our corporate relationships that we have the ability to be bold, innovative and creative in sharing our passion for music."
