Song has played a central role to the development of music and language. With today’s continuing evolution of technology, the song tradition has an opportunity to evolve in new and exciting ways.To celebrate this history and potential future, Drake Music Scotland and the Disabled Artist Network have commissioned seven composers from Scotland and the Nordics to compose new works for voice and digital instruments.
This collaboration between nations, and between disabled and non-disabled artists, is a fascinating chance to see how composers from across Northern Europe approach such a unique musical opportunity.
