Working with Jacqueline Shave (violin), Joely Koos (voice and cello), Catrin Finch (harp), James Larter (percussion) and Kuljit Bhamra (tabla) to curate a thought-provoking, uplifting evening of boundary-crossing music from different cultures, times and places.

About NW Live Arts

NW Live Arts curates and produces concerts and creative workshops in London and beyond.

At our concerts, you will encounter the sounds of music from Western Europe, India, the Middle East, West Africa, South Korea the British Isles,
and more.

We collaborate with small groups of extraordinary musicians working in different genres to devise exciting programmes that also incorporate the
voices of storytellers from our creative workshops.

Each programme has a tightly woven narrative of music and words, reflecting an underlying theme of social or environmental injustice. We believe that music can build bridges and start conversations.

For our workshops we invite participants from partner charities to develop their skills as storytellers led by an experienced facilitator and in collaboration with our musicians. Work created here can be presented in the concerts.

“By the end of each performance an intimate energy lingers in the air. There is a sense that the boundary between performer and audience has been dissolved… everyone in the room has been witness to something unique and transformative.” – Peter, audience member
