Songs for a Burning World

Songs for a Burning World is an immersive song cycle of seven songs exploring the impact of heat and climate change on our global community. The project was co-created by 20 young leaders from 18 countries, who turned the songs into immersive music videos with the support of 360 film camera people in each region. The songs were then linked into a single narrative that moves from fear and anxiety towards hope. The film is now available for public screening and  inspiring us all to take action and drive change. Co-produced with Guildhall School of Music and Drama and University of Plymouth and Academy of Contemporary Music., recorded with AC[M] choir at Metropolis Studios, where the opera was mastered in Atmos for the immersive screening.

We have applied for UKRI funding to develop the project, building an international network of young people using music for social change in partnership with the University of Athens, this emerging research network bid is led by Dr. Lucinda Jarrett and  Prof Rich Perks.
