Corrina Hewat is a maker, a composer, harper, singer, choir director, born in Edinburgh, who spent her formative years in the Highlands of Scotland which shaped her musical character; introvert, dark and slightly adrift.

This ten-harp suite featuring acoustic, electric and wire-strung harps - intensely encapsulates, in four movements, the diverse energies of the contemporary Scottish harp revival. Based loosely on the 'The Oak tree and the Ivy', a short story by Eugene Field, published in his A Little Book of Profitable Tales in1891.

The symbiotic nature of the Ivy and Oak's relationship is explored in a musical alchemy, the listener invited into a symphony of strings ; tendrils of jigs, strathspeys of oak, tales from the four corners of the earth, electric storms and murky depths, airs and reels of love and farewell. Electro, acoustic and wire harps interweave with piano to allow the listener to hear and feel the beauty in the chaotic nature of life.

Since 2015 Corrina has directed the Scots Folk choir Sangstream, she is Artistic Director of the Harp Village in Cromarty which happens annually in September
and has just finished a five-year project as co-writer/co-producer/composer of the Dragon Trilogy in the DragonSong Productions interactive children's theatre
and is also one of the musicians who compiled the "Folk Tunes from the Women" Faber Music
