Emily White plays violin in St Margaret's Church, Huntly

Emily White is a violinist and trombonist from England. She worked with Deveron Arts in Huntly, Scotland during a four months residency to research the provenance of Ronald Center, a yet to be fully discovered composer who lived in Huntly most of his adult life. During 2008, Emily developed a comprehensive project to include the first performance and a recording of Center's string quartets.

During the project, Emily played small, unpublicised engagements in St Margaret's Catholic Church, Huntly. This footage was shot on 30 July 2008, with the kind permission of Father Patrick. Emily has recorded a CD of Ronald Center's music along with The Isla Quartet, which will be released on August 29.

Deveron Arts is a contemporary arts project in Huntly, a small rural 4,000 people-strong town in Aberdeenshire, the North-East of Scotland. The town - identity, context, population, politics, visible history - are the starting points for the work of the artists who we invite to come, live and work here.

Deveron Arts has neither gallery space nor an arts centre. Instead, the town is the venue is our guiding leitmotive. For each project the team, together with the artists, looks for a fitting context. These 'found venues', naturally populated by the people of Huntly, serve as a stage for a range of performances, installations and exhibitions. The absence of a building gives Deveron Arts the opportunity to utilise Huntly, the town, as a vehicle to stimulate research and dialogue through creative exchange.

Artists working with Deveron Arts are local and international, recent graduates and established figures. Focus is on the visual arts which form a catalyst connecting with performance artists, musicians and a wide range of other creative practitioners. The traces of their work have evolved into a collection - The Town Collection -, placed in pubs, shops, schools, offices and other spaces around the town.

Our studio/office is based in the Brander Building on the town square, where we welcome visits and new ideas.
