Songs of Alchemy

Join the Opera North Youth Company for this newly devised work for voices and strings created in partnership with Yorkshire Sculpture Park.

With the support of Michael Betteridge (Composer) and Jonathan Ainscough (Writer/Director), young performers from the Opera North Youth Company will be spending an intensive week in the studio, immersed in the work of leading contemporary artist, Bharti Kher, whose current exhibition, Alchemies, is on display at Yorkshire Sculpture Park.

This thirty-minute work will respond to some of the themes explored in Bharti’s work but will also be a reflection of how the young people view the pieces of art themselves through their own words and music.

Following a performance at the Howard Assembly Room, the cast will be taking the show to Yorkshire Sculpture Park, for an immersive performance in and amongst the sculptures.
