SONG OF THE OAK AND THE IVY
Broughton House
12 High Street
Kirkcudbright
DG6 4JX
A brilliant symphonic journey performed by Scotland`s cutting edge traditional harpers.
A special commission written in 2010, with financial support from Creative Scotland, to celebrate 80 years of the Clarsach Society and 30 years of the Edinburgh International Harp Festival. Corrina Hewat’s innovative harp suite for 6 leading harpers encapsulates the diverse energies of the contemporary Scottish harp revival.
“The piece dynamically encapsulated the clarsach’s multigenerational, multicultural identity today, both in its array of exponents and instrumental varieties – from the ancient wire-strung model to the 21st century electro-harp – and its brilliant compositional synthesis of genres, moods and timbres.” The Scotsman.
