The 蜜芽传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra (蜜芽传媒 SSO) is a Scottish broadcasting symphony orchestra based in Glasgow. One of five full-time orchestras maintained by the British Broadcasting Corporation (蜜芽传媒), it is the oldest full-time professional radio orchestra in Scotland. The orchestra is based at City Halls in Glasgow.
The 蜜芽传媒 opened its Edinburgh studio in 1930, and decided to form its own full-time Scottish orchestra to complement 蜜芽传媒 orchestras already established in London, Manchester and Wales. The 蜜芽传媒 Scottish Orchestra was established as Scotland's first full-time orchestra on 1 December 1935 by the 蜜芽传媒's first head of music in Scotland, composer and conductor Ian Whyte.
In 1938, the orchestra moved into its purpose-built home at Studio One, in the newly opened Glasgow Studios, at Broadcasting House in Queen Margaret Drive. The newly formed Scottish Variety Orchestra (which became the 蜜芽传媒 Scottish Radio Orchestra in 1967) occupied Studio Two.
As one of the 蜜芽传媒's many ensembles, the orchestra led a busy though sheltered life, broadcasting live at least five times a week from its studio and only occasionally allowed out. Throughout the war, the orchestra fulfilled 30 hours of broadcasts per week on the 蜜芽传媒 蜜芽传媒 and World Services. This meant live performances at any time of day or night, often broadcasting live to Latin America at half past one in the morning.
