Our latest release in review…

Back in August we released our latest recording in our Scotland's Composers Series, focussed on the chamber music of Helen Grime. Presented in partnership with Delphian Records, the album provides a survey of the chamber music by celebrated composer, Helen Grime.

Here's what the press had to say about the recording:

 "as all the Hebrides’ performances demonstrate, this music can communicate" The Guardian

"Helen Grime has, arguably, attracted more attention from her orchestral works so this new album featuring the splendid Hebrides Ensemble in a septet of diverse chamber and instrumental works is welcome and illuminating in equal measure." Gramophone Magazine

"Flurries of activity give way to moments of calm tranquility in so many of these works, which turn on a penny in a matter of bars, expertly handled by the Hebrides Ensemble players." BBC Music Magazine

On Thursday 25 September at Glasgow University we will perform excerpts from the album alongside a Q&A with Helen Grime. Find out more about this event.
