Cevanne:

Cevanne embraces art in its many forms - composition, song, dance, scholarship and the Celtic harp. A grandchild of Armenian refugees and Lancashire coal workers growing up on Benjamin Britten���s doorstep might be expected to learn an unusual musical language. Highlights have involved her work with Alex Wilson, Zoe Rahman, and the London Mozart Players. This year, she will write for the London Symphony Orchestra
and produce her debut album "Big Ears" with Kuljit Bhamra MBE.
