For our summer show this year, we are taking Brudenell Piano Sessions on the road again, this time marking the occasion with a visit to The Attic on Sheaf Street in the city centre. As always, expect a typically varied and captivating evening of live music centred around the piano, in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. It’s piano music; for everyone.
Join us for a chance to meet the team behind Dreamers, a new Channel 4 drama about the Chapeltown Collective, an eclectic troupe of dancers made by Leeds-based Duck Soup.
This is your chance to hear about the unique way in which Dreamers was made. Find out how the show auditioned over 1000 young people. Hear from the trainees who worked behind the camera and with the support of Screenskills. And talk to the writers and producers about why Dreamers couldn’t be made anywhere but Leeds.
The Silver Reserve: Matthew Sturgess, who performs as ‘The Silver Reserve’, plays delicate, sparse music on a classical guitar, crafting intricate melodies around thoughtful and evocative lyrics. At times creating dense, layered atmospherics, this is music that doesn’t rush and takes its sweet, sad time to unfurl and sneak under the skin.
