SCO 24/25: From Scotland to Persia

When the SCO’s outstanding Wind Soloists are joined by exceptional players from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, the result is a grand wind ensemble of unparalleled richness and expertise.  

Join the SCO and RCS players for music of charm and opulence, from Scottish composer Helen Grime’s dramatic, virtuosic Elegiac Inflections to the sunny optimism of the Octet-Partita by Hummel, a contemporary and friend of Beethoven. Florent Schmitt was an associate of Ravel, and combines dreaminess and fantastical playfulness in his captivating Lied & Scherzo, while Caplet summons the mysteries of the Near East in the sensual evocations of his Suite Persane.
