"The soloist in this national celebration was the young Russian violinist, Anna-Liisa Bezrodny. We were truly privileged to hear such a talented musician surely at the beginning of a promising career. There was total mastery in her approach to Max Bruch's 'Scottish Fantasy', exhibiting a combination of technical skill and musicianship."
Quote from one of the five young composers, secondary pupils from Border schools, who were given the opportunity to work with Stephen Deazley in the Gie It Laldie Project
"The best thing was the real sense of achievement when I heard for the first time my arrangement played by the orchestra. It was really cool."
Welcome to Scottish Borders Community Orchestra
Scottish Borders Community Orchestra offers a warm welcome to anyone interested in playing, learning or listening to music in the Scottish Borders.
SBCO is more than an orchestra – it is a collective of musicians who lead and support a wide range of musical activities for players and audiences of all ages and types.
Each year SBCO organises at least two orchestral concerts, a number of smaller scale performances, a series of tutored sessions for instrumental groups, occasional workshops, and an outreach programme that takes live music to children and to the elderly in particular.
SBCO has two cellos, suitable for someone who finds themselves
without access to a cello eg after leaving High School, or someone
wishing to take up cello. Both need to be restrung. If interested or
needing more information contact Helen on 01573 228464
Anyone interested in helping SBCO by funding the repair of the
above cellos, please contact Helen as above.
