Repertoire

The Bubblyjock Collective perform only works by Scottish/Scottish-based composers, in order to highlight the breadth and variety of classical/contemporary music coming out of the country. 

Our programmes are usually a mix of:

  • Art-song

  • Solo and Chamber music arranged for the collective

  • New commissions for the ensemble 

We are continually preparing new repertoire. Please get in touch if you would like to discuss programming.
