Soundings From the Planet

Musicians and storytellers come together to consider the impact of climate change in an evocative programme of words and music.

NW Live Arts’ dynamic musicians explore the sounds of our planet – music of the air, sea, sky, forests and landscapes – in a programme of Bartok and Messiaen, free improvisation, new composition and music from West Africa and South Korea. Sharing the stage, creative storytellers from the local community  join the musical conversation asking us to value our connections to nature  and find a way to let the planet restore.

“I’m delighted that NW Live Arts has created a mission to actively create  platforms where social themes and ideas can be delivered in engaging ways – directly into the hearts of communities by talented artists and musicians.” 

Kuljit Bhamra MBE
