Glasgow to host three-day music event for 850th anniversary
Clyde Chorus, which will also celebrate the city's UNESCO City of Music status, is set to take place across multiple venues from May 29 to 31.
The festivities start on May 29 with a riverside procession, inviting residents and visitors to take part in a joyful walk along the Clyde.
From 4.45pm, there will be performances from Indepen-dance and YDance at the Millennium Square, Pacific Quay (between the BBC and Glasgow Science Centre).
The procession, led by the Lord Provost and accompanied by the Govan Community Pipe Band and the Glasgow Skye Association Pipe Band, will cross Bell's Bridge and finish at the Crowne Plaza.
The event is free and open to all.
The celebration continues on May 31 at Govan Cross, with various community choirs performing together on an outdoor stage.
Running from noon to 6pm, the free event will celebrate collective voices and local musical pride in a day of choral performance.
Later that evening, the Glasgow Science Centre's IMAX will host a performance by Glasgow-based audiovisual artist Konx-om-Pax as part of Sonica, Cryptic's biennial festival.
The show, titled UAXUCTUM, begins at 7.30pm.
