Hi everyone!
I'm involved in a really exciting project on Saturday 9 May at Southbank
Centre, called Notes to the New Government. The London Sinfonietta has
commissioned 16 composers to write songs about their hopes for society,
and there are some amazing artists involved - as well as the composers
we've got poetry from Luke Wright
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40lWjiQovHE> , video performance from
David Hoyle <https://www.youtube.com/user/DavidHoyleArtist/videos> ,
writing from Jackie Kay
<http://www.theguardian.com/books/2002/jan/12/fiction.features> . I've
stuck more info below.
Would anyone like to come? I think I could be sneaky and wangle comps
(one of the perks of running the box office) and would love to see you
there.
