Clarsach virtuoso Savourna Stevenson is well known to Peebles audiences, having grown up, and lived much of her life, in Tweeddale. She began playing the piano and composing from the age of five with her father, the renowned composer, Ronald Stevenson.
For this concert, Savourna joins forces with old friend and saxophonist Steve Kettley in a duo showcasing her compositions – a blend of haunting melodies, pulsating rhythms and stirring improvisations.
Savourna is known for breaking stylistic barriers while maintaining her Scottish roots and in this concert, she and Steve include music ranging from Savourna’s seminal Tweed Journey of 1990 to their latest album together Wine of Life.
“a talent which deserves to be shouted from the rooftops.” (Sunday Times)
“a composer who is a national treasure.” (The Herald)
