"QUINES" is a brand-new project by the Bubblyjock Collective celebrating the chamber music and art-songs of Scottish female composers. It features works by Helen Hopekirk, Isobel Dunlop, Marie Dare and Claire Liddell, 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.
