Poetics of Migration is a performance night that celebrates the creativity of migrants, refugees and ordinary people in Nottinghamshire. Around fifteen performers will perform their poetry on stage and share their stories about language, home, food, identity, community and social justice.
The event will launch a poetry collection, featuring seventy poems, essays and illustrations from more than thirty people with close connections to Nottinghamshire. The book includes contributions from over thirty authors with roots in Nigeria, Jamaica, India, Cyprus, Uruguay, Austria, Ireland, Wales, China, and more. The poems, written by emerging and established poets from diverse ethnic, cultural and migratory backgrounds, remember and recreate home, call for social justice, and celebrate Nottingham as a city of sanctuary to become.
Come and Sing with Sir John Rutter 2025
Our much-loved British composer returns to the Concert Hall for a fifth year with his popular choral singing workshop.
Do you love singing? If you do, and can read a bit of music, this inspiring workshop is for you. Led for a fifth great year by the celebrated composer and conductor Sir John Rutter, Come and Sing is an afternoon of choral singing to lift the spirits. Music will be a mixture of old and new, including some of Sir John’s own well-loved choral works. If you’re not a singer yourself, come along as a supporter instead.
Music scores will be provided on the day, and there will be tea/coffee and biscuits served in the interval, all part of the ticket price.
