Collaboration with Victoria Crowe & Christine de Luca
Victoria Crowe’s exhibition of new work Another Time, Another Place is on view at the Scottish Gallery throughout May 2021. Throughout lockdown 2020, poet Christine de Luca responded to her paintings by writing a set of poems inspired by them. Victoria approached the Trust in late 2020 and asked whether we might collaborate by inviting composers to set Christine’s poems for a performance in the gallery during the run of the exhibition. This concert is the result of that collaboration.
Three new Michael Cuddigan Trust Award commissions
The concert features a mixed programme performed by soprano Katherine Broderick and friends with three new Michael Cuddigan Trust Award commissions from Scottish and Scotland-based composers Suzanne Parry, Alasdair Spratt and Aileen Sweeney.
Each of the new commissions sets poems by Christine de Luca inspired by Victoria Crowe’s paintings and is a duo for Katherine Broderick, soprano, and one other instrument.
