Biography SCO WIND SOLOISTS

The Scottish Chamber Orchestra Wind Soloists charm audiences throughout Scotland and further afield with stylish and exuberant performances of repertoire ranging from the celebrated divertimenti and wind serenades of the 18th century to music of the present day.

The SCO Wind Soloists regularly perform in Scotland's main cities and further afield, including the Highlands and Islands. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, they performed a concert at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in the presence of HRH the former Duke of Rothesay (now King Charles III). Other recent invitations include the East Neuk Festival and Aix-en-Provence Easter Festival.

Inspired by the legacy of Sir Charles Mackerras, the Wind Soloists have since 2012 made a particular exploration of Harmoniemusik repertoire. Their debut album, Mozart Divertimenti (Linn) made a fine contribution to the Orchestra’s distinguished Mozart discography. Their second successful album, Beethoven Music for Winds, was launched in 2018 with a concert tour including Glasgow, Ayr, Edinburgh and London (Wigmore Hall).
