Savourna Stevenson and NYCoS
Saturday 9th June
7.30pm
Dunblane Cathedral


Renowned harpist Savourna Stevenson is also gaining prominence as one of Scotland’s foremost composers. She won international acclaim for her Harp Quintet, licensed for the popular American TV series 'Sex and the City' and 'Ugly Betty'. As a harp virtuoso and composer she has experimented across a variety of musical genres, collaborating with an eclectic array of internationally recognised artists, including the Martinu Quartet, Toumani Diabate, Aly Bain, Eddi Reader and the Orchestra of Scottish Opera.

This concert promises to be an exciting and virtuosic performance of some favourite French impressionist and Spanish pedal harp repertoire – Debussy and Granados - together with some of her own innovative new harp music.

Also featured, with Savourna as accompanist, is the Stirling National Youth Choir of Scotland (NYCoS) who will sing Savourna’s songs which were commissioned for the NYCoS 10th Anniversary Song Book, along with some Scottish songs and music for the Scottish harp.

Savourna Stevenson is a true communicator with wide experience in music education. This special performance with NYCoS, provides the ideal opportunity to witness her rapport with young performers and audience alike, and offers an appealing and stimulating mix of harp and young voices.
