SCO in Craigmillar Residency

We are very proud of our role in taking music out of the concert hall and into the everyday lives of people across Scotland, supporting communities to use music to come together, get creative and feel good.

SCO in Craigmillar is a five-year programme of creative projects and performances for residents of all ages in Greater Craigmillar, Edinburgh.

Building on the area’s extraordinary history of Community Arts, the SCO aims to be part of a community-wide journey to re-energise creative activity with and for diverse groups, and for this residency to connect the community with a national cultural resource.
