SCO Connect events

Exploring Music II - 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 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 concertos which feature in the SCO season and will include three concert trips.

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.
