Jessica Kerr is originally from Nottingham. She moved to Glasgow in 2005 following an undergraduate music degree at Bristol University and postgraduate study with Hannah Roberts at the Royal Northern College of Music.
Jessica is exploring the intersection of the arts with nature, positive climate action and environmental social justice. Recent projects in this sphere include Stories of People and Trees, a commission from the Scottish Ecological Design Agency Song shall be our Measure, and a joint commission by Cove Park and the Argyll Community Rainforest Network for artistic engagement in the temperate rainforests of Scotland.
Cellist with Glisk, the Kentigern Quartet and the GRIT orchestra, Jessica has a wide range of orchestral experience within Scotland and beyond, and is a Senior Musician at Big Noise Govanhill. She plays on an English cello dating from 1810 by Furber, and was generously supported by the Arts Trust of Scotland in acquiring the instrument.
