Songs of Hope, Leeds City Museum, F-List conference May 2026

This is the full song cycle featuring soprano Gweneth Ann Rand, pianist Allyson Devenish, with strings and halldorophone by Laura Reid and additional vocals by Nwenende Horsefall. Images / screen prints by Heidi Stellar and additional graphics by Amy Reid. An audio sound walk of songs composed in response to the poem “Hope” is the thing with Feathers by Emily Dickinson. The composer Laura Reid has commissioned an array of writers, from award winning librettists to best-selling online authors, to respond to the message of Hope explored in Emily’s poem. Each has a unique perspective on the theme, and Laura’s music sets their words for soprano, piano, electronic cello, and strings.

In Public Space

In Public Space

In Public Space is both nomadic and permanent - voices of the people for the people. In Public Space is a collaboration between theatre company Selina Thompson Ltd, sound artist Lola De La Mata, and the gathered voices of those living, working and worshipping in and around Lincoln Green, Burmantofts and Mabgate. Collected in houses, cafes and art spaces in the local area – In Public Space is a sound sculptured by the inter-generational musings of neighbours, ex-midwives, volunteers, artists and children of Leeds 9. Through explorations in sounds, field recording and listening practices - Co-Built from conversations, provocations, and atmosphere; exploring what makes us feel at home, how we build safety and dreams of nourishment for our neighbours and communities. Parts 1 and 2… move through generations with reflections of the past and dreams of our future, and how they might repair our relationships to public space and grow something new. Pillars… we encounter more intimate portraits of three residents Jaya, Gloria and Sally Seeds… dotted around LS9, you can hear ten children describe a plant they imagined for their local area during the summer school at East Street Arts
