In March 2026 she travelled to Bodo in Norway to perform ‘Walking on Arctic Water’, collaborating with composer Daniel Woodfield to create a captivating blend of Cornish tunes, Cornish language and ethereal cinematic soundscapes. Elizabeth is currently singing the soprano vocal of ‘Arlodhes a Shalott’ a classical song cycle in Cornish by Matthew Thomason, which is touring all over Cornwall. Elizabeth continues to deepen her study of the Cornish language and is beginning work on a new album which aims to inspire others to use and engage with Kernewek. She is becoming a rising star of the Cornish music scene and one of the key pioneers of Kernewek's prevalence in the creative field.
