Over the course of four sessions higher and advanced higher students work with composer Stephen Deazley and three SCO musicians, to create individual new compositions inspired by concepts/ideas from science and space. 

At the final session in September, a recording will be made of the finished compositions and they will also be performed by the SCO musicians on 24th September at the Family Fun Music Day at Glasgow City Halls.

This project is run in partnership with East Ayrshire Council and Glasgow Science Centre.

Exploring Music I - Session 1

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, concerts, a trip to the National Library of Scotland, 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.

From late July 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.
