Berlioz Study Day
 |
It’s Sunday evening, and I’ve just got home from the first ever study day organised by SCO Education. We were delighted to welcome David Cairns, well-known Berlioz expert, to talk to us about L’Enfance du Christ which is being performed later this week. Not only that, but Robin Ticciati came along too and it was a privilege to be able to hear what these two think about Berlioz the person, the composer, and his music. |

We were in the lovely surroundings of the newly refurbished Usher Hall, and with plenty of tea, coffee and sandwiches to keep us going we spent the day in the company of Berlioz. David talked about many of Berlioz’s compositions, and told us lots of great stories about the resurgence of performances of this music during the 1950s and 60s, and the group of people that really championed it, including of course, Sir Colin Davis. David is giving two pre-concert talks this week in Edinburgh and Glasgow, so you still have a chance to see and hear him in person. |

It was such a great day with lovely enthusiastic music-lovers attending, that I’m really delighted we’ve introduced study days into our education programme, and can’t wait for the next ones on Schumann in March. We’ll definitely do more next season!
