corrina hewat

'mistress of harmony'

One of the leading harp players in the world today, she has toured Europe, the Far East, America and Canada to rave reviews and regularly appears on radio and television (BAFTA award-winning 'Tacsi', BBC2, 'Demo TV', BBC 2 and Channel 4). Few can boast such a wealth of experience in such a diversity of music. She also has a degree in Jazz and Contemporary Music from the City of Leeds College of Music.

"one of the top harpers in the world"

Corrina has taken the Small Harp to a new level of excellence, combining traditional style music with contemporary attitude. She is in demand as a player, composer, arranger and teacher, and her appeal grows larger as more and more people get to hear and meet her. She has worked in Seannachie (1994 - 1996), Bachue (1995 onwards), Chantan (1996 - 1998), and has done touring and session work with Eric Bibb and Horse MacDonald among others.

"a jazz singer's flexibility, a blues singer's economy, a folk singer's heart"

She is also blessed with a stunningly individual voice, which resonates with years of soaking up Scotland's musical tradition, while exploring contemporary elements and jazz. She is also a composer with three commissions under her belt so far: 'Making the Connection' for Celtic Connections' 'New Voices' 1998, 'Songs of Redshank' for the Highland Festival 1996 and 'Photons in Vapour' for An Tobar, Isle of Mull 2000.
