Rossiter Music Ambassador to China

Doctoral student Louise Rossiter is currently in China as the Music Ambassador for the Scotland China Education Network (SCEN). In collaboration with SCEN and other partners, Louise, along with audiovisual artist Andrew Connor, will be undertaking a major new sound and image project exploring the links shared between Scotland and China through the use of sound and image. Building on SCENs mission to promote links between Scotland and China — particularly in Scottish schools — Louise will develop several new pieces of work — including a collaborative sound installation with Andrew. You can follow the day to day progress in their project site and blog.
