Coffee Cadenzas - Community Coffee Concert Series!
1 comment North Coast
<p><meta charset="UTF-8" /></p> <p>'Coffee Cadenzas' is a community project with the aim to bring members of the community together through the joy of art and music.<br /> We are proposing an 8-week coffee concert series, starting on the 21st of October 2023 and ending on the 16th of December 2023.<br /> The concerts will be held in the main gallery of the Barony Centre, West Kilbride. This is an opportunity for audience members to connect with others, support local venues such as the Barony Centre and experience arts and culture in the local community. All concerts will be every Saturday from 10:15am - 12:15pm, commencing in October.</p> <p>What will it look like:<br /> Members of the public will have free access to the Barony Centre and will enjoy the immersive experience of sound and visual arts work harmoniously together. All whilst networking with other members of the community of all ages over a cup of coffee from the Barony Cafe.<br /> We want to break the restrictions of classical traditions and offer members of the public the choice of how they want to experience the event. This will be freedom of movement, providing areas where participants can talk, solely listen to the music or find a quiet corner to reflect.</p> <p>Supporting this project will allow members of the public to access arts and culture for free, breaking down the barriers often experienced for those accessing the arts. The overall project will offer health and wellbeing benefits to the communty, by providing a hub for socialisation and connection in the local area. </p>
