Benedetti and Baroque

This week, star violinist Nicola Benedetti returns home to Scotland and to the SCO for four concerts in Ayr, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen with director/harpsichordist Christian Curnyn.

Simply Fantastique!

This month, the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and Principal Conductor Robin Ticciati released their debut recording together, Berlioz’s masterpiece Symphonie Fantastique.

Why a harpischord goes 'ping'!

This week SCO Associate Artist, Richard Egarr, conducts the Orchestra in a flamboyant and varied programme of Baroque music in St Andrews (11 April), Edinburgh (12 April) and Glasgow (13 April).

It's a wrap!

The SCO has now finished recording its second romantic Berlioz disc. Aisling O'Dea, First Violin, writes about her experience over the past few days...

Here we are once again in the recording studio, otherwise known as the Usher Hall.

Our most recent CD of Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique was featured as 'CD of the Week' in this week's Sunday Times magazine... a good omen perhaps for the first day of recording our second CD with Robin Ticciati?

In the studio with SCO

The Orchestra returned from its tour of Spain last week and headed straight to the recording studio with Scottish mezzo soprano Karen Cargill and SCO Principal Conductor Robin Ticciati.
