St Nicholas' Church, Winterborne Kingston
Stevie Wishart performs her composition ' Strings, Wheel, and Fingers' for Solo hurdy-gurdy
Bowed strings are among our oldest musical instruments. The idea of the violin bow seems to be of Arabic ancestry, but the invention of the hurdy-gurdy, with its bow in the form of a wheel, is specifically of European heritage: its sound is utterly unique: both timeless & musically undefinable.

Colourscape 2014 
Pied Piper by Stevie Wishart
Eye Music commission 2014
The Pied Piper - is a promenade-style performance especially created for Colourscape.  As you, the public, explore Colourscape - follow the performers and become involved in the opera.
In Stevie Wishart’s Colourscape re-working of the famous 14th century story, the Pied Piper, playing his magical music, is employed to lure away the rats from Hamelin. But he isn’t paid, so once more plays magical music, this time leading all the children away through a cavernous mountain into an enchanted world of colour and sound  -  here played out in the labyrinth of Colourscape.
Follow the Pied Piper (recorder player Roselyn Maynard) as she leads the rats and children on a journey through colour and space.  Become the townspeople in the cast.
With special thanks to Richard Vendome and the Oxford Girls’ Choir, the parents of the singers, John Hooper, Osbert Farnaby, and Toni Wishart.

Ipswich Choral Society marks its 190th Anniversary with the world première of a newly commissioned work, 'Cantata for the Seasons' by composer Stevie Wishart, written as a homage to Benjamin Britten.
 
"Britten is one of those composers who has been a formative influence in my vocal writing. Growing up in East Anglia, I attended master-classes at Snape as a child, and so fell under the Snape/Britten spell. I also adore  the open landscapes of Suffolk  - again childhood haunts - and so look to this landscape for inspiration.”  - Stevie Wishart
