Opera North's commission for BBC Arts and Arts Council England’s Culture in Quarantine programme is a series of five new works specifically to be listened to whilst walking.
Crossing folk, jazz, Middle Eastern and African traditions, classical and contemporary music, with a tendency to experiment and to break the confines of genre, the contributors are cellist and composer Abel Selaocoe; qanun virtuoso Maya Youssef; oud player and composer Khyam Allami, vocalist, violinist and songwriter Alice Zawadzki; and accordionist and experimentalist Martin Green of the folk trio Lau.
Made by musicians under lockdown for audiences in the same predicament, Walking Home is a vibrant cross-section of music-making in Britain today. The series engages with our new context for walking and solitary activity, and each 15-minute piece offers an opportunity to renew our imaginative connections with our environment.
