SUMMER COURSE 2009 

The residential summer course 2009 will take place from Monday July 13th until Sunday July 19th, and is for children aged 9 to 15 of grade 3 to 8 standard and above, who play an orchestral or band instrument.  The more advanced children will play in the Symphony Orchestra and the less advanced in the Junior String Orchestra or the Wind Band.  There is also a Brass Ensemble, a Symphonic Wind Band and a String Orchestra which meet for several sessions during the week, and involve all players of the relevant instruments.  The Grand Orchestra, which includes all course participants, also meets several times during the week.

Outside of rehearsal times, there are daily arts, crafts and sporting activities which are supervised by specialist staff, and a full programme of evening entertainments.  There is a resident nurse.

The final concerts will take place on Sunday afternoon July 19th, finishing at about 6.00 p.m.  Each participant will take part in both concerts, which will consist of two completely different programmes.  

Watch this space for further details.

Brochures and application forms will automatically be sent to all those who have attended a previous SScOT event and still fall within the age-range, early in 2009.  Other requests for brochures and application forms should be addressed to Jean Murray - contact details above.
