SCO Connect

SCO Connect is the Education and Outreach department of the SCO, and during 2010/11 there are lots of ways to get closer to the music. Discussion groups, study days and pre-concert talks give you a chance to learn more about music. Our extensive schools programme travels throughout Scotland, but also offers opportunities for pupils and teachers to experience the impact and immediacy of the full, virtuoso forces of the SCO in concert.

 Whether you’re playing, listening, composing or discussing we want to hear your thoughts and comments. There are comment panels on project pages, register interest forms and of course you can follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and the Blog.
