Composition
Our members of staff specialise in areas from aesthetics to electroacoustic composition and
performance and workshops. Discussion of student composition is at the core of both the
undergraduate and postgraduate degrees.
We have strong links with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and Glasgow School of Art.
Our resident group, the Hebrides Ensemble, gives public performances of work by postgraduate
composers.
Our centre-piece annual festival of contemporary music - PLUG - has premiered many new works
and commissions.
