We draw on our heritage from the Classical Music tradition to deliver innovative and exciting music projects to participants of all ages, which engage diverse groups of people in the creation and performance of new work. Initially one of the leading contemporary music ensembles in Scotland, Paragon has evolved over the last 30 years to become an organisation which is varied in its provision of opportunities for learning and composing.
We regularly commission new works by Scottish and International composers and will shortly be featuring a new composition by Gareth Williams in our 30th Anniversary Concert, which you can find further information about on our concerts and events page.You will find some of our most recent projects here.
