Drake Music is seeking to commission a musician to compose and direct the performance of a new work on the theme of Connecting Across Difference. A central component of the composition process is the facilitation of a season of creative music workshops with young musicians from mainstream and special schools, at primary and secondary levels in the borough of Tower Hamlets. The season will culminate in a mixed media masque or opera at Bethnal Green Museum of Childhood, co-created and performed by all participants in March 2009.
New band The Prospectors will shake up a sunny summer’s afternoon when they perform Herbis, music inspired by the Urban Gardening exhibition, at the Urbis Centre, Manchester, on Sunday 6 July, 2pm.
