The Scottish Chamber Orchestra has announced its annual Summer Tour, from 11 June – 29 August 2025, bringing together a host of exceptional conductors and soloists to present world-class, live classical music to 20 remote Scottish locations. From Kames in the West to Golspie in the North, the SCO Summer Tour aims to build relationships with local communities, put SCO musicians centre-stage and bring world-class concerts to audiences who might otherwise not be able to experience them.
The 2024/25 Season marks Jay Capperauld’s second year as SCO Associate Composer. Following a season that included the world premiere of Bruckner’s Skull and performances of three other works, the SCO will perform two newly commissioned pieces by Jay during the Summer Tour, including his Wind Dectet Carmina Gadelica.
Gavin Reid, Chief Executive of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra: “As we look ahead to summer 2025, we look forward to hitting the road once again and bringing the SCO’s music to communities across Scotland. With our world-class musicians and a dynamic programme that truly showcases the depth of our orchestra, this tour promises to offer something for everyone. Whether it’s your first concert or you’re a long-time supporter, we can’t wait to share the joy of live music with you all."
The SCO’s musicians are celebrated throughout the Summer Tour:
The SCO Wind Soloists visit Kames (11 June), Kilmelford (12 June), Crianlarich (13 June) and Gartmore (14 June) with an intimate programme, featuring Carmina Gadelica, a vibrant new dectet by SCO Associate Composer Jay Capperauld, who takes inspiration from Gaelic hymns, incantations and songs in his striking new work.
