May update:

Spring is doing its thing, and I’m quietly working away. I’m currently working on research at The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, where I’m looking at deaf performance practice and moving into the role of practitioner-researcher. This is a bit of a shift in focus, and I’m getting my head around the concept of practice as research. It’s all coming together, though, and will ultimately result in the creation of two new works. I’m also planning a project using the Chamber Music Scotland EDI fund. You can read more about this below.

New Project

Chamber Music Scotland EDI fund

I am one of the awardees of the Chamber Music Scotland EDI fund 2025, which promotes diversity and inclusion in Scotland’s classical music sector. With this new project, I hope to explore the application of descriptive live captioning in music and bring this to a broader audience of musicians. I’ll present a short workshop session at the SHARE symposium with Nichola Scrutton at the Byre Theatre in St Andrews in June. Later in the summer, there will be an online workshop for musicians and a new commissioned work with descriptive live captioning as a central creative force.

 

PERFORMANCE

Click to watch a performance of new Illuminate commissioned work The Goddess of Ballachulish which took place at The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow in December 2024. A new work commissioned by Illuminate Women’s Music 2024/25 and performed by soprano Stephanie Lamprea and cellist Jessica Kerr. A 2,500-year-old five-foot tall wooden effigy of a woman was dug up in the 1880s by Loch Leven in Scotland. This work imagines her reawakening.



I also wrote a blog about this commission which you can read by clicking here.

In June I’ll have details of some new commissions coming up and an exciting announcement!
