Description

'Inventions: The Harpsichord Across Time and Borders' is a transnational project under the umbrella of Theorbo Today, which aims to create new works for old instruments, with a focus on female composers. The Inventions project is directed by Janet Oates, who in 2024–2025 commissioned composers in Ireland, England, Scotland, and Wales to write new works for harpsichord, inspired by specific historical works from their respective countries. Performances have taken place (and will take place) in all 4 countries by 4 different harpsichordists, (Yonit Kosovske - Ireland). Following the Limerick performance, Kosovske organised a seminar and panel presentation featuring herself and several composers from Ireland and the UK to discuss the project. The Inventions project received funding from: Arts Council England, Creative Scotland, Sound Festival (Scotland), The Marchus Trust, The Hope Scott Trust, Mary Cooke, and The Francis Louth Trust.
