Steps also works closely with and gives support to the families of the children who attend sessions at the centre.
The facility's annual running cost is £250,000 so events such as AQOB are vital to enable us to continue to provide our service which many of our parents describe as being 'a lifeline'.

Exhibition Opening / She Makes Music for the Age of Machines

“You take a sound, any sound, record it and then change its nature by a multiplicity of operations - you produce a vast and subtle symphony. It’s a sort of modern magic. Some musicians believe it may become an art form in its own right.”

Daphne Oram, 1957

On Friday 11 October not-for-profit arts organisation Modern Painters, New Decorators open their doors to a new exhibition about how sound is experienced. Featuring new and existing work by collaborative duo Nathan Bissette and Mateus Domingos, Natasha Brzezicki, Paul Gittins and Emily Hawes; the exhibition presents artworks which explores alternative ways of making, organising and experiencing sound.

Focusing on the belief that sound can be used as a means by which to pause and contemplate, ‘She Makes Music For The Age Of Machines’ attempts to reconnect us with our environment through listening. The exhibition brings together artists who look outside the mainstream ways of experiencing sound, whether this is through ambient tones, new musical languages or ways of documenting sound. The exhibition will include instruments, sculpture, music, prints and video which will immerse the viewer.

‘She Makes Music For The Age Of Machines’ is inspired by Daphne Oram’s body of work, Oramics. Starting in the 1950s, Daphne produced a piece of technology called the Oramics Machine. This machine would turn drawn and painted shapes into audio. She was an early pioneer of electronic music whose practice and research was largely overlooked until recent years. The title for this exhibition is taken from a quote by the Daphne Oram Trust.

Entry: Free
Time: 19:00-21:00

Exhibtion continues 12 Oct - 9 Nov / Thu-Sat / 11:00-17:00

RSPB Talk - Farming and Wildlife by Nicholas Watts

Nicholas has farmed at Vine House Farm since 1964. His inspiration and enthusiasm for farming and wildlife is the reason why Vine House Farm Bird Foods was born. The team around him has grown over the years, to not only manage a growing farm, but build a bird seed business too. With his team behind him, Nicholas is able to dedicate more time to his passion of caring for wildlife.

Nicholas researches and trials conservation ideas on his farm and then shares results and advice with other farmers and conservation bodies. He has come up with advice for the best way to harvest oil seed rape, information which is now given out nationally by the RSPB.

Price: £3.50 local group members £4.00 for non-members, LU student gratis with SU card. Pay at the door.

Come & Sing: Durufle Requiem

We are delighted to confirm that we will be singing Duruflé's Requiem for our annual Come and Sing 2020.

The Requiem by Maurice Duruflé is one of the most beautiful examples of liturgical music from the 20th century. Strongly influenced by Fauré's famous setting of the same text, it is full of gloriously sing-able lines and magical harmonies.

We have a whole day to master this work of such ethereal, heartrending magnificence. A wonderful work to sing: one or two tricky corners certainly along the way, but plenty of time for us to find our way confidently around those!
As usual, the workshop will be at Trinity Methodist Church Centre in Loughborough and will be from 10am, ending with a 5.30pm performance.
Our workshop leader will, once again, be Charnwood Voices Musical Director, Nicholas Scott-Burt. Our accompanist and organist will be Richard Dunster-Sigtermans .
BOOKING IS ESSENTIAL! The cost will be £15 per person and application forms will be available to download from October from our website www.charnwoodvoices.org.uk. You may also obtain them by e-mailing comeandsing@charnwoodvoices.org.uk, from our facebook page and from members of the choir.
This will be a great opportunity to take part in this wonderful piece.

Or come along to the concert on the day to see what we have achieved - doors open at 5.15pm. Entry £5.
