Last Saturday night we participated in an After Hours event at the Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester in connection with our current installation of The Fireworks. This included an inconversation session between ourselves and Mary Griffiths, the Whitworth's curator of modern art were we discussed such things close to our hearts as play, power and delinquency. There was also a live set by Manchester band Patterns - more of their stuff can be found on their website
http://www.musicalpatterns.com/. Also we were really pleased to be able to present a live preview performance of a piece called "We are here to help the People" which is the final aria from our forthcoming, and in production, opera. We'll have some video of the performance to post in a week or two (we hope) but here's a still of Jennifer, Amy, Rachel and Saffron singing in Arabic, Farsi, Dari, Pashto, Russian, French, Korean and Cantonese in the stairwell of the Whitworth Art Gallery.
