The Bubblyjock Collective are an ensemble dedicated to championing the works of neglected Scottish composers – particularly from the 19th century to the present day.
This year they present ‘QUINES’, a brand-new programme celebrating female Scottish composers and neglected women from Scottish history. It features works by Helen Hopekirk (1856-1945), Isobel Dunlop (1901-1975), Marie Dare (1902-1976) and Claire Liddell (b. 1937), 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. This concert will feature the first song of the cycle, ‘DIVA’, about the Scottish international opera star, Mary Garden.
