The Scottish Chamber Orchestra and St Mary’s Music School are delighted to announce our first online SCO String and Wind Academies for school-aged musicians.
“BRILLIANT AND EXCITING”
“AMAZING MUSIC WITH REALLY FRIENDLY PEOPLE”
String Academy | Sundays 8, 15, 22 November, 2pm – 3.15pm
Wind Academy | Sundays 8, 15, 22 November, 4pm – 5.15pm
SCO String and Wind Academies continue as a free opportunity for aspiring school-aged string and wind musicians who have reached Grade 7 or above and who are able to commit to a series of sessions.
The String Academy is led by SCO Violin Gordon Bragg and offers coaching to violin, viola, cello and double bass players, focusing on Shostakovich’s Chamber Symphony. The Wind Academy is led by St Mary’s Music School Oboe Teacher Fraser Kelman and is open to flute, clarinet, oboe, bassoon and French horn players. The Wind Academy will focus on Farkas’ Early Hungarian Dances and Arnold’s Three Shanties, and there will be short masterclass opportunities for participants to work on their own choice of repertoire.
