(William Conway, Artistic Director, Hebrides Ensemble)“Working with Drake Music Scotland is a highlight and cornerstone of our artist programme.”
(Ben Lunn, Associate Composer, Drake Music Scotland )“I’m profoundly excited that we can return to the Queen’s Hall to do a follow up concert after Diversions. The world is in a very different place, but despite the odds we are back making music together. It has been my genuine pleasure to work with all the composers and musicians as we are set to return for our first concert together since 2019.”
