No Strings Attached

[No Strings Attached]

This collaborative musical project, which brought together two local schools - Ravenscliffe High School and The Ridings High School, Leeds-based group, Musical Arc and Inclusive Arts, ran from March to June 2004, culminating in a sell-out performance at Square Chapel on June 17th.

Professional musician, Martin Harwood and Gaynor Chilvers, of Musical Arc worked with pupils from Ravenscliffe School for 10 weeks to create a new and unique piece of music entitled 'Soundscape (Home)'. The pupils also learned songs from different cultures, around the themes of 'home' and 'family'. The work developed in the workshops was performed to a very enthusiastic audience at Square Chapel on June 17th. Four sixth-form students from The Ridings High School worked as volunteer mentors on the project.
