Stevie Wishart's stylish trio with Fred Frith and Carla Kihlstedt
Stevie Wishart studied composition and electronic music at the University of York with Trevor Wishart and Richard Orten as well as coming into contact with improvised and aleatoric music through studying with John Cage and David Tudor in Edinburgh. By contrast she continued postgraduate performance studies in early music (baroque violin and voice) at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama (Diploma in Advanced Performance) and with a Nuffield Foundation award and a Vicente Cañada Blanch Junior Research Fellowship at the University of Oxford for doctoral research into medieval musical iconography. More recently she received a major Wellcome Trust award to develop her compositions using musical gestures and sound to control how we use computers, and to work with the neuroscientist Ian Winter at the University of Cambridge University on audio processes based on the physiology of the ear. Other major productions include her opera Europa which is planned for production by Aachen Opera and the Klara Festival in Brussels in 2012
