    Seascape

This Digital Film will be live at 7.30pm on 13 February 2025. It will be available to view free of charge for one year.

Surging tides and lapping waves, all heard from a seaside hotel in the dead of night: it was a stay in Broadstairs, Kent, that inspired the remarkable English composer Ruth Gipps to create her evocative Seascape in 1958 for an ensemble of ten wind players. Take a dip in the watery wonders of Gipps’s passionate music - and discover her Lake District-inspired pastoral idyll Cringlemire Garden played live in February.

Part of our 24|25 Digital Season

In three specially commissioned films, SCO musicians send music from Scotland across the globe in intimate concerts captured in Edinburgh’s historic Leith Theatre, bringing you up close to the players and the intensity of the music.
