Join us for a very special concert in the birthplace of Violet Jacob, poet and novelist, and one of 5 women celebrated in our new song-cycle! This concert will begin with a pre-show talk and reading of Violet's poetry.
The Bubblyjock Collective present ‘QUINES’, a brand-new programme celebrating female Scottish composers and neglected women from Scottish history. It showcases works by Marie Dare, Isobel Dunlop, Claire Liddell and Helen Hopekirk, as well as a new song-cycle written for the ensemble by Lisa Robertson. This new cycle sets texts by acclaimed poet Gerda Stevenson, sung in the voices of 5 incredible women from Scottish history.
