Sir Alexander Gibson was the maestro who founded two great Scottish musical institutions, Scottish Opera and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. In this Carnegie Pioneers podcast, musician and University of the West of Scotland student Ibrahim Dikko dives into the world of classical music as he goes on the trail of a man who made his musical mark on Scotland, and the world after early support from the Carnegie Education Fund.

On his journey Ibrahim meets opera singer Karen Cargill, conductor Sir Donald Runnicles, Sir Alex's son Philip Gibson, Alex Reedijk the Director General of Scottish Opera, and RSNO Chief Executive Alistair Mackie. He also attends his very first opera.

Carnegie Pioneers is commissioned by the Carnegie Education Fund
