Adrian Vernon Fish, Gemma McGregor, Katherine Wren and Kevin Duggan
A big thanks to all who came to our Dunblane Cathedral concert on Sunday. We had a great turnout of all ages.
It was a particular pleasure to welcome Gemma McGregor, composer of “Joy” and Adrian Vernon Fish, composer of “Qaanaaq”. Gemma and I worked together in Orkney last November, but I’ve waited a long time to meet Adrian. I was first in contact with him before I travelled to Greenland in 2017 and, as well as his beautiful music, he also gave me some valued advice and connections to friends over in Greenland. It was therefore wonderful to finally meet him.
We also performed works by Peter Maxwell Davies, Arvo Pärt and Oliver Kentish on our journey through Orkney, Iceland, and Greenland via Estonia!
I really enjoyed working with Kevin Duggan, not least because he shares my fascination with the Far North, having worked in Denmark for several years.
I have plans to work with all 3 musicians again, so watch this space!
Thanks, too, to Dunblane Cathedral for allowing us to play in this beautiful building.
