IPSA Collective

Scotland’s new contemporary ensemble Ipsa Collective performs selections of Karlheinz Stockhausen’s Tierkreis, alongside works by Thea Musgrave, Julius Eastman, and RCS graduate Fergus Hall.

Ipsa Collective is a new Scotland-based music ensemble composed of soprano Stephanie Lamprea, violinist Feargus Hetherington, flautist Richard Craig, and percussionist Darren Gallacher. They are committed to programming and commissioning experimental new chamber works that incorporate interdisciplinary elements.

Ipsa Collective performs works of mixed instrumentation including duos, trios, and quartets. The group formed through their 2023 performance of Kate Soper’s Ipsa Dixit in at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, which they reprised in 2024 for Sound Scotland’s soundfestival. They have also curated duo and trio performances of various players in the group, having performed in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, and the Republic of Ireland.
