Thirteen North is a new string ensemble of 13 of Scotland's top players, driven to bringing classical music to new and more diverse audiences.

My work with Thirteen North sees me responsible for keeping everything moving, scheduling, financial management, advancing shows, project planning and all other manner of logistics. 

For my current role as Operations Manager with the ensemble I work alongside the Artistic Directors and Trustees on business planning, strategy and funding applications – as well as working on individual performances and projects. 

The role requires me to work with a range of collaborators; thirteen musicians, venue staff, PR agencies, technicians, filmmakers and composers.

I worked closely with Esther on the release of her debut studio album Expectations of a Lifetime. 

My role covered various aspects of the project, bringing together collaborators Oana Stanciu– one of Edinburgh's leading visual artists – and inimitable string quartet Vulva Voce plus a host of other hugely talented musicians and lighting, visual and sound designers. 

I managed the CD design, manufacturing and licensing ahead of release, alongside digital distribution across streaming platforms as well as working on the album launch live show at The Queen’s Hall in Edinburgh. 

I really enjoyed working with Esther to help bring her music to life and share her creative ideas with the world.

Working with the in-house venue team as Venue Representative – liaising between tech teams, bands and their wider touring party plus the front of house team to ensure a smooth running gig. 

My role includes advancing the show, confirming stage times and tech requirements, setting up the Green Room and rider, working with FOH and generally making sure everyone has what they need to put on a great show.
