Although we have been devastated to have to cancel upcoming concerts due to the unprecedented situation with the Coronavirus, we very much look forward to welcoming you back in the future!

Meanwhile, we’re going to be sending out an e-newsletter once a week, just to say ‘hello’ and to share some magical music with you. If you would you like to receive this e-newsletter with all the latest SCO news, you can sign up to our mailing list here

To start us off, we thought you might like to relive some of our latest concerts on BBC Radio 3 and be reunited with some of the very special guests who have joined us this year already!

With over two hours of some of the most relaxing chamber music ever written, it's the perfect excuse to shut out the stresses of the outside world and unwind!

Following the enforced cancellation of a number of our concerts and creative learning projects, we have been hugely encouraged by the messages of support we’ve received during this challenging time. We are especially grateful to those who have kindly donated back their ticket refunds – thank you so much from all of us at the SCO!

We know you will have many other things to think about at the moment but, if you are in a position to help us by making a donation, your forethought would be most welcome.
