Corrina Hewat live dates

The fearsomely talented Corrina Hewat has virtually single-handedly propelled the Scottish Harp into the limelight with her bold playing style. Her latest album 'Harp I Do' is testament to her sublime skills, Corrina says “I have deliberately chosen to represent the Scottish harp as a exciting, stimulating instrument, and have recorded it as this – as if the listener were sitting as close to the harp as I am and feeling the vibrations of the strings and the ringing of the upper harmonics pounding into their chest. To me, this is what harp should sound like – a contact sport!”

Corrina has a range of workshops and live performances running in to the new Year and Celtic Connections where she teams up with some other very talented musicians in the form of Karine Polwart, Bella Hardy, Anna Massie and many others...
