SCO Connect events

Comparing notes are our informal and in-depth discussion groups based around a series of four concerts.  Not only do the groups offer the chance to learn about some of the music before you hear it, but they also give you the opportunity to reflect on the concerts, discuss it and lots more in future weeks. 

As part of the series Stravinsky: The Chamber Ballets, SCO Connect is delighted to welcome Professor Jonathan Cross. His acclaimed volume The Stravinsky Legacy was published in 1998 by Cambridge University Press, and he is editor of and contributor to the Cambridge Companion to Stravinsky (2003). He is currently working on a critical biography of Stravinsky for Reaktion Press.

Tickets cost £25 and include refreshments, lunch, and a complimentary concert programme for the linked concert.

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 II: This ten-session course is a more in-depth course ideal for those who have taken part in Exploring Music I, or already have some knowledge of music. It focuses on the works of Stravinsky and will include three concert trips to the series Stravinsky: The Chamber Ballets.

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.
