About this event

Does music about peace have to be peaceful? In the gloriously diverse city of Bradford, where the first Peace Studies department was inaugurated and the Peace Museum now lives, PEACE finds musical commonality in the cracks and creates something beautiful by joining together contrasts.

Drawing on her creative catalogue, producer Verity Watts presents a radical and ambitious commission that brings together four artists to create a work featuring electronic sounds, rap, scratching, spoken word and bassline improvisation. It’s also fused with historic archive audio samples.

Collaborators include the world-champion turntablist DJ Woody; legendary jazz bassist Dave Kane; Bradford-born singer, rapper and songwriter Kenzo Jae and poet and spoken word artist Scout Tzofiya Bolton. Archive producer Anna Rhodes curates audio samples from Bradford that also feature in the music.

Part of New Music Biennial, this event includes two performances of the same work and a short interview with the creative team in between the two, enabling audiences to experience the second performance with greater insight into the creative process.
