Sadie Harrison Featured on the Isbourne Trio's Debut Recording

We are absolutely thrilled that house composer Sadie Harrison is one of the featured composers on the Isbourne Trio’s first recording. The trio comprises Alison Lambert (clarinet), Hannah Davey (soprano) and Pippa Harrison (piano), a group who are passionate about discovering and commissioning new works for the combination.
 
About the recording, the Isbourne Trio write: "Our innovative ‘She-Notes’ recording project shines a spotlight on six fascinating works for the ensemble by female composers. This is the foundation of the trio’s creative mission to further diversify the repertoire, generating exciting new work by composers of all genders to complement the historical masterpieces. We selected music from around the globe, featuring living female composers alongside historical figures. In support of our pledge to work with the next generation of composers, the trio partnered closely with RWCMD student composer, Imi Oldham in recording the premiere of her work ‘Music When Soft Voices Die’. The value of music in education is a strong motivational force for us as a trio. Moving forward, we will continue to nurture our musical partnership with the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, whilst expanding our reach into schools and colleges to inspire the younger generation and celebrate the value of collaborative music-making and performance."

The recording includes Sadie Harrison’s Nani ka itou? (Why abandon me?) and will be performed later this year on 5 December at the Warwick Arts Centre. We wish the group well in their important work extending the repertoire for such an evocative and flexible combination of instruments and voice.
