So Percussion recently visited East Durham to collect stories and create a music performance that will premiere on Thursday 18 August 2016 as part of the East Durham Creates programme, one of 21 Creative People and Places projects nationally, funded by Arts Council England, working across the East Durham area with the aim to get more people involved in arts and creative activity.
The New York based ensemble has visited East Durham several times in the past 2 years. During their visits they had the opportunity to interact with people from the local community, learn more about the history of the place and find inspiration to develop their new musical performance, From Out a Darker Sea.
