Out of the Box - Inspiration, collaboration and celebration for music development
Friday 17 November, 1-4:30pm (at Humber St Social) moving into an evening of live music at Trinity Market from 5pm.
‘Out of the Box’ brings together people from across the entire Hull music sector, appreciating the broad scope of music, taking an ‘Out of the Box’ look at long-term music development in the City. With creativity at the centre, we’re taking a holistic view that recognises the unique inter-related organic music eco-system in Hull. If you’re part of that ecosystem we’d welcome you to take part. Join us to help shape a vision of the future of music in Hull that’s inclusive, co-operative, diverse and strong.
The afternoon summit event at Social on Humber Street will shine a spotlight on inspiring activity in the City, reflect on our own offers and wants, consider the value of collaboration and put music centre stage.
An early evening of networking at Trinity Market will lead into a night of performances of ‘Out of the Box’ special collaborative commissions and news of future ‘Out of the Box’ commission opportunities for local artists with J-Night.
Featuring world premiere performances of exciting new collaborative work by:
• Graziana Presice with Stewart Baxter ‘Intermundia’ (classical piano and electro)
• Josh Overton with Nigel Taylor and Aaron Green ‘The Battle of Blair Mountain’ (hip-hop meets country and western)
• Stephanie Halsey with Nigel Taylor ‘Our Love’ inspired by Maya Angelou & Elizabeth Browning (classical harp meets hip-hop)
• Mambo Jambo with Joe Martin (latin, jazz, folk and classical fusion) part inspired by flamenco rhythms
• Samatar Elmi with Richard Sleight and Freedom Chorus singers. Darker Light: Cadair Idris (spoken word with choral backing - film of a site-specific work filmed on the staircase in Hull’s Maister House.
Followed by a takeover by members of the Hull Youth Music Network.
