The Musical World of Jay Capperauld
Wherever you are in the world, experience the joy and passion of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra in three thrilling performances, captured in a trio of specially commissioned films recorded in Edinburgh’s atmospheric Leith Theatre.
Get up close to the SCO’s exceptional musicians as they perform three enthralling pieces by SCO Associate Composer, Jay Capperauld. Hailed as one of Scotland’s most distinctive and original musical voices, Capperauld creates works that teem with energy and ideas, with profound emotions and mischievous wit. His music sets out to challenge and provoke—sometimes posing fundamental questions about life and death—but also to inspire and entertain.
Experience three new Scottish masterpieces conceived and created specifically for the Orchestra, in definitive performances from the SCO and Principal Conductor Maxim Emelyanychev, along with the SCO Chorus and Chorus Director Gregory Batsleer.
Join the SCO’s global community to watch live as each film is premiered online, or catch up for a year after the first broadcast date.
