Elinor Evans

EH7
Born in Scotland of Welsh parents, Elinor is a hybrid of two Celtic cultures. In 2014 Elinor completed her degree at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, going on to gain her Post Graduate Diploma in Composition at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in 2016 whilst also gaining her ARIAM (Teaching) from the Royal Irish Academy of Music in Dublin. She has competed successfully in many festivals and in 2015 won the prestigious Trophée Camac de Harpe Celtique in Lorient, Brittany, being the first Scottish harpist to do so. She has released a CD and an EP showing her distinctive style and featuring her own compositions alongside sensitive arrangements of traditional pieces. In 2019 Elinor won the Princess Margaret of the Isles Senior Clarsach competition in Armadale Castle, Skye. In 202 during the lockdown she embraced on line teaching finding innovative ways to engage her young (and not so young) pupils. She is a natural teacher and performer and believes music should be available to all. 

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
