Turning the Elements is the name for our inspiring musical project, creating two new suites for soprano and clarinet: a collaborative enterprise between poets, composers and performers to produce lyrical songs exploring the natural world and our place within it.
We are:
Frances Cooper, soprano ~ Jane Mckie, poet ~ Stuart Murray Mitchell, composer
Joanna Nicholson, clarinetist ~ Rebecca Rowe, composer ~ Stewart Sanderson, poet
The first performance of this artistic collaboration will be on Sunday 25th October, 2015, in Migvie Church, in Aberdeenshire, as part of Sound – Scotland’s Festival of New Music.
We are delighted that we will also be performing in the Borders as part of Book Week Scotland in November. The concert will be on Friday 27th November at 7.30pm in St John the Evangelist Church, The Pleasance, Jedburgh TD8 6DJ. There will be a chance to meet the performers, composers and poets afterwards.
Exciting indeed! Can’t wait to get cracking, Some very inspiring ideas from our poets already….

Waiting for a brand new piece of music to arrive…it’s not like Christmas, more like when you’re in a foreign restaurant and you recognise one word on the menu, so you order that dish – but really you have no idea what you’ve asked for.
