The SCO’s end-of-residency celebration, Tapestry, was a vibrant showcase of the Craigmillar community’s creativity and heritage.

This unique concert celebrated five transformative years of collaboration and featured a stunning 25-minute through-composed work curated by Jay Capperauld. Blending Craigmillar’s iconic songs with original works by the SCO Seen and Heard Ensemble and SCO Craigmillar Voices group, the music was accompanied by an evocative projection by Karolina Glusiec, weaving together archival treasures and new artistic creations.

The first half of the concert showcased work emerging from the Craigmillar community, featuring performances by SCO in Craigmillar project groups and a special partnership with Drake Music Scotland, including the live premiere of a new work by composer and musician Rhona Smith.

Audiences experienced the rich tapestry of Craigmillar’s arts legacy brought to life by the SCO and the inspiring community that shaped it.
