We are Scotland’s EAR TO THE GROUND! - keeping you in the loop with the interviews and gig alerts from Scotland’s top-notch composers. We’ll be digging deep to find out what makes these composers tick, hearing the processes behind their latest compositions and finding out why on earth someone would want to be a composer!
The podcast is hosted by Aileen Sweeney and Ben Eames, two musicians based in Glasgow who’ll be asking the questions, bringing the banter and getting to know these fantastic composers. Follow and subscribe to keep your ear to ground for Scotland’s newest and most exciting music.
Lewis Coenen-Rowe is a composer and pianist, specializing in opera, vocal music and chamber music. His music is concerned with themes of ecology, memory, time, and the unstable divide between the comic and the serious.
He is also an advocate for environmental sustainability in the art and also currently works at environmental arts charity Creative Carbon Scotland.
Today we are delighted to be chatting to Lewis about his latest opera STUMPED which is being performed this summer at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
