Scottish harp pioneer Savourna Stevenson first emerged way ahead of the curve, opening new horizons for both her iconic national instrument and traditional music itself, via cross-fertilisation with jazz and world strains – this being as far back as the early 1980s. She’s continued to take the harp where it’s never been before, with excerpts from her acclaimed Harp Quintet, premièred at Celtic Connections 2000, having soundtracked episodes of both Sex and the City and Ugly Betty. That same work, teaming Stevenson with the Edinburgh Quartet, forms the centerpiece of this 50th birthday celebration, among music for both pedal harp and clarsach, also featuring long-time collaborator Danny Thompson.
