In a brand-new collaboration, composition students from Chetham’s School of Music responded to the work of artists from Venture Arts, a Manchester-based organisation supporting artists with disabilities.
The students created original compositions inspired by the works of six artists, whose artworks include photography, pastels and embroidery. Visitors can listen to the pieces through Soundcloud while looking at the artwork, creating an interactive experience between visual and auditory art.
‘Sound and Vision’ beautifully showcases the connections between art and music, showing how creative partnerships can play a vital role in fostering community connections across Greater Manchester.
We are grateful to the Haworth Trust for their support in helping this project come to life. The ‘Sound and Vision’ exhibition is available to view in the Oglesby Atrium. You can listen to the incredible compositions here.
