SCO Connect events

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.

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.

School workshops
