|FROM OPERA NORTH

Walking Home, a series of five sound journeys commissioned by Opera North and composed and recorded by musicians during lockdown, will be broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and BBC Radio 6 Music, and available for download, from Saturday 15 August.

Five artists, spanning jazz, folk, Middle Eastern and African traditions, classical and contemporary music, have created the new works specifically to be listened to on headphones whilst walking, as part of BBC Arts and Arts Council England’s Culture in Quarantine initiative; bringing arts and culture to the nation under lockdown.

Each piece has been made with a particular place or time in mind, offering the listener a unique chance to renew their imaginative connections with their environment, as we continue to adjust to a new context for our outdoor activity and exercise.

All five works will be available for download from the Opera North website, to be experienced wherever and whenever the listener chooses. The remaining four sound walks will be broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and BBC 6 Music over the coming weeks.
