As the festive season approaches, SCO musicians wish everyone a good holiday with Ding Dong Merrily on High arranged by the late Kevin McCrae.
The dust may be settling after the SCO's 'Big Ears, Little Ears' pilot series of concerts for parents/carers with babies, but in the meantime we've been busy gathering the audience's reaction to the whole thing.
