The choir Hljómeyki is collaborating with Drake Music Scotland for concerts in Iceland and Scotland. "Led by the ambitions of disabled artists, Drake Music Scotland works with composers, music creators, ensembles and performers to change music for good. We believe amplifying voices, raising visibility and providing support to achieve artistic and musical ambitions is essential for disabled artists to thrive. We are dedicated to developing instruments, repertoire and accessible technology and we champion new ways to engage in creative activity." New works for choir, baritone singer and harp from three Scottish and three Icelandic composers have been commissioned. The Scottish group consists of composers with physical disabilities, the Icelandic group are students at the master's level at the Iceland Academy of the Arts.
