Immerse is a unique orchestral experience for upper secondary music and art pupils that enables students to experience the excitement of a live orchestra in concert and explore the relationship between music and art.
Immerse 2025 features The Origin of Colour by SCO Associate Composer Jay Capperauld. Jay will introduce the programme himself and share how he created his exciting work. He will be joined by visual artist and musician Kirsty Matheson, who will present her own paintings inspired by The Origin of Colour and Beethoven’s Sixth symphony.
Together, they will also discuss the phenomenon of synesthesia and how this has shaped both of their work.
Running time: approx 1 hour 15 minutes.

It was great to experience a live orchestra performance and having someone explain the process of creating music was extremely interesting
I had a great time at the concert! It was super interactive and just really fun overall. I loved how they used artwork along with the music - it made the whole experience feel more creative
