Role
Sonic Bothy’s vision is to make opportunities and empower disabled musicians to create, perform and collaborate in the composition of original new and experimental music, and to contribute a significant body of music work to Scottish new music. We seek new ways to collaborate on a truly equal footing within mixed ability ensembles.
