Corrina Hewat
composer, choir leader, collaborator, specialised tutor (voice, lever harp)
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.
She now lives in a small village in Midlothian with her family and her cats. She started writing music young, as a way of expression when she didn’t have the words. She says, “I know I do that still.”
Corrina directs the Scots Folk choir Sangstream
is Artistic Director of the Harp Village in Cromarty which happens annually in September
is co-writer/co-producer/composer of “Moon Dragon”, “Sea Dragon” and “Ice Dragon” in the DragonSong Productions children’s theatre
is also one of the musicians who compiled the “Folk Tunes from the Women” Faber Music
She has featured in over 50 recordings, and has stopped counting now.
Musically co-founder of The Unusual Suspects Big Band and Bachue with David Milligan
and vocal trios Grace, Hewat, Polwart (with Karine Polwart & Annie Grace);
Shine (with Alyth McCormack & Mary Macmaster);
Chantan (Christine Kydd & Elspeth Cowie),
she has worked with the very best of folk (she actually has sung with Bobby McFerrin, Eric Bibb, Peggy Seeger, Kathryn Tickell, Maddy Prior)
and has a gentle and rare way of coaxing the very best out of you - your voice, body, breath, into some good harmony sings.
She is available for production, recording, and workshop tutoring, and is happy to take one-off students looking for performance techniques and strengthening exercises to enhance their artistry.
Corrina has https://corrinahewat.com/ as her other web space filled with music, music books, pdfs.
