Continuing rehearsals of the Barrow version of Sinfonia a collaboration with @BarrowFull and @theforumbarrow. We are working on an intimate version in a newly created pop-up theatre because the main house has some technical problems. I think this version will be so beautiful

We absolutely love our new website and brand identity! Designed by the team at @splituk, it sums up who we are: performers and artists, creating with the experience of age.
The logo was made using Split's special @PeoplePoweredPr printing tools – here we are bringing it to life!
