Royal Scottish National Orchestra, and described as an "evocation of a crumbling building, through moaning trombones and tremolo strings, as well as the bleak aftermath of dust and silence." In the same year, she wrote her solo viola work,
AND, for violist
Katherine Wren, who subsequently performed the work in her Nordic tour of the
Shetland Islands, at Soundfestival Aberdeen and at the
