QUINES- The Bubbly Jock Collective
About this Event
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.
One of these is Violet Jacob, the celebrated poet and novelist born at the House of Dun. This concert will be preceded by a short talk sharing some of Violet’s poetry and songs.
