SCO Connect and The University of Edinburgh Open Studies Department have teamed up to provide two evening courses this Season, led by composer Jennifer Martin.
Both courses will guide you through music performed in the SCO Season and introduce you to the world of the SCO, with player visits, concert trips and an opportunity to meet Principal Conductor, Robin Ticciati.
Exploring Music I: This ten-session course is a general introduction and no previous knowledge is necessary.
You can book and pay for this course or get a copy of the Open Studies brochure by logging on to the Open Studies website or calling 0131 650 4400.
