New music-theatre for young adults – March 2019

We’re lost in music,
No turning back.

Lost in Music is a new gig-theatre show about the power of music.

In a studio, a band is working on music inspired by the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice: the story of a talented musical couple’s journey to hell and back. It’s a story about the power of music which has been told and retold for thousands of years; in Lost in Music, it’s told using the voices of young musicians, telling us what music means to them and how it informs their lives, friendships and sense of self.

Age recommendation: 12yrs+

Original development supported by Imaginate and Platform. Magnetic North is supported by PRS for Music Foundation.

Lost in Music is set in a studio where a band is working on music inspired by the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice; the story of a talented musical couple’s journey to hell and back.  It’s a story which has been told and retold for thousands of years; the original story about the power of music to make us fall in love, to change our minds and to take us to places we never expected.  In Lost in Music, the story is told using the voices of young musicians, telling us what music means to them and how it informs their lives, friendships and sense of self.
