Seonaid Aitken: Chasing Sakura

Now, Seonaid Aitken has formed a new super group and for this EJBF commission records at Stockbridge Church, presenting new music fusing folk, jazz and classical.

Written during lockdown, and while recovering from serious injury, Seonaid’s musical suite ‘Chasing Sakura’ - for string quintet and saxophone/flute - follows the lifespan of the cherry blossom inspired by her time in Japan.
