Graham Hair, Director

Graham Hair is a composer of Australian birth, who has lived in Glasgow and directed Scottish Voices since 1991. He has also composed a great many works for the ensemble in its two “incarnations”: 4 women’s voices with instrumental accompaniment and 8 mixed voices and instrumental accompaniment.

During that 30-year period, Scottish Voices has developed connections with collaborators around the world: south of the border, East of the Channel, West of the Atlantic and south of the Equator. Its work has garnered financial support in all of those countries.

Particular recent instrumental collaborators have included harpist Sharron Griffiths, marimbist/percussionist Darren Gallacher, organist Kevin Bowyer and pianists Yelena Beriyeva, Lauryna Sableviciute, Toni James, Hebba Benyaghla and Kerry Yong.

Scottish Voices records for Ravello in the United States, Nimbus in the UK and Tall Poppies in Australia. Numerous scores, audio and video recordings — and more detailed information about the ensemble — are available on the Scottish Voices website: www.scottishvoices.org

For many years, Graham also held “day jobs” as an academic: in Australia, the UK and the USA.
