Inventions is a fascinating trans-national project to promote and present unusual music for solo harpsichord, drawing primarily on historical and contemporary music by female composers from Scotland, Ireland and England. Three beautiful new commissions are set alongside historical works, making links between different countries and centuries, and performed by Katarzyna Kowalik, a creative and skilled performer of both historical and contemporary keyboard music.

The Inventions project is gratefully supported by Creative Scotland, Sound Scotland, Arts Council England, Mary Cooke, the Hope Scott Trust, The Marchus Trust and the Francis Routh Trust.
