Book now for our Spring Play Away Day

Booking is now open for SScOT’s next Play Away Day in Edinburgh, taking place 10am-4pm on 24 February 2019 at St George’s School, Edinburgh.

Who’s it for?

Anyone aged 8-15 who plays a string orchestra or wind band instrument at grade 2 and above.

Why come?

Does your child love ensemble playing? Or perhaps they’re learning an instrument and don’t often get an opportunity to play in groups with other people? Maybe you want to get a feel of what SScOT’s about before booking for our summer residential course? Or maybe your child has been to one already and wants to meet up with the friends they made there for more fun and supportive music-making?
All of these and more are great reasons to book on to our Play Away Days. Over the course of just one day we rehearse and perform a concert of a wide range of repertoire, led by our experienced conductors and supported by instrumental tutors.

I have really enjoyed the experience of playing in an orchestra with others who share an interest in music, and that’s what I love about SScOT! (Play Away Day Participant, Autumn 2018)
