About the event
An experience unlike any other awaits with interactive art installations and a poignant programme of music, presented within an immersive cutting-edge setting by NEW Voices, NEW Sinfonia and Khrystyna Makar.
This spring marks one year since NEW Sinfonia's first project with UareUK and two years since the invasion of Ukraine and the start of the ongoing war. The concert is being presented as a call to and for humanity.
The programme will be centred around tales of displacement and interspersed with the poems and stories of refugees, and will include music from the outspoken pacifist Michael Tippett's work, 'A Child of Our Time'. The concert will also feature the moving 'In Rememberance' by Eleanor Daley, 'Wayfaring Stranger' arranged by Greg Gilpin and 'Hafan Gobaith (Haven of Hope)' by Delyth Rees.
'Humanity feels more divided than ever. Yet humanity is always the solution. Ultimately the only solution.'
