The Blank Page: Songs from the Library

THE BLANK PAGE: SONGS FROM THE LIBRARY
A Thetford Music Caf Creative ResidencyFollowing the success of Thetford Music Caf, Britten Sinfonia is back in Thetford with an exciting new creative residency and this time, we're making something entirely new together.Based upstairs at Thetford Library, The Blank Page: Songs from the Library brings together adults from the community and young people (including students from Thetford Academy) to co-create an original piece of music inspired by the stories held within the library's walls.Over four sessions, you'll collaborate with composer Hannah Conway, director and writer Hazel Gould, and Britten Sinfonia musicians writing, making, and shaping something that's never existed before.No musical experience needed. If you play an instrument, bring it along otherwise we'll have handheld percussion available, and we'll be using our voices throughout.You don't need to attend all four sessions to take part you're welcome to join even just one. If you can make the final session, which includes the sharing, that would be fantastic.The residency concludes with a sharing performance on the afternoon of 19 June. We'd love friends, family, and the wider community to come and hear what we've made together. As this takes place within a working library, we ask that audience members book a free ticket in advance so we can keep numbers manageable for the space.Workshop schedule:Wednesday 10 June - 12:50 - 15:50
