SCO 26/27: Side by Side

Celebrate the vibrant colours and character of wind music as SCO Wind Soloists join forces with outstanding players from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in this special side-by-side performance.

The programme opens with Grace Evangeline Mason’s 'The Water Garden', its shimmering textures evoking quiet beauty and reflection. French wit and elegance shine in Françaix’s 'Sept Danses' from 'Les Malheurs de Sophie', before Ruth Gipps’ 'Seascape' captures the shifting moods of the natural world.

The concert concludes with two sparkling showcases: Ibert’s 'Trois pièces brèves', full of vitality and humour and Françaix’s 'Neuf Pièces caractéristiques', a kaleidoscope of characterful miniatures.
