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.
