Sarah Watts has been hosting annual clarinet and bass clarinet courses on the Isle of Raasay for ten years. To celebrate this, she commissioned the composition of ten pieces which will be premiered at the Raasay Distillery on 11 April 2018. Ten Wee Drams consists of a set of works for solo bass and contrabass clarinet by nine composers based in Scotland, Piers Hellawell, Alasdair Nicolson, Stuart MacRae, Iain Matheson, Oliver Searle, Jane Stanley, Pete Stollery, William Sweeney, and Sarah Watts, plus emerging composer Adam Lee, winner of the Ten Wee drams student competition.
The concert takes place in the Distillery Gathering Room, which has stunning views over Skye, and Sarah Watts will perform Ten Wee Drams. This event is free to attend and there will be a licensed bar, tea, coffee, and cakes.
