Corrina Hewat
EH13 |
Corrina Hewat is Principal Scottish Harp Tutor at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. She is a harpist, singer, composer & arranger, musical director, recording artist and musical collaborator. Nominated Instrumentalist of the Year at the Scottish Traditional Music Awards and the recipient of a ‘Women in Music’ Award for composition, her huge range of musical influences has contributed greatly to her individual take on traditional music. Corrina achieved recognition for her work with Bachué, Shine (with fellow harpist Mary Macmaster) and Scots supergroup The Unusual Suspects (nominated Live Act of the Year). She is a sanctioned judge for the Harp Society of America and has run masterclasses across USA and Europe.
“Corrina Hewat is what June Tabor would be if she were a harper. Like Tabor, Hewat's repertoire is as broad, deep and cool as the North Sea. She does everything except what you might expect. A Scottish standard like Robert Burns' Ae Fond Kiss is transformed into a sleepy torch song, with Hewat's voice leaking smoke and the low strings of her harp buzzing like basso bees.” Sing Out Magazine
