About the event
Admission Free (donations welcome on the door)
‘QUINES’ is a brand-new project celebrating the chamber music and art-songs of Scottish female composers. It features works by Helen Hopekirk (1856-1945), Isobel Dunlop (1901-1975), Marie Dare (1902 1976) and Claire Liddell (b. 1937), four extraordinary women whose music has not previously received the attention it deserves. At the heart of the programme is a newly commissioned song-cycle by Lisa Robertson, which sets texts from Gerda Stevenson’s QUINES poetry collection, written in the voices of neglected women from Scottish history.
