OUR WORK

"Firebird's approach to working with artists is excellent as it values the artist's individual working methods and ideas and allows enough space for the creative process within projects, fully recognizing each individual artist's strengths and ideas."

"Firebird provides a supportive environment in which musicians can present ideas, gain feedback and support towards achieving their ideals."

"What is unique about this support is that whilst guidance is given on the best way of achieving the aritist's aims, the original intent of the musician remains intact without having to compromise the original vision."

 

We run a comprehensive range of projects across the East Midlands.

• Jo Freya'a KOMPOSIT - a new resource for the East Midlands providing composers with access to musicians dedicated to exploring new music from across whole range of different musical genres and cultures.

• "Pebbles in Ponds" - using music as a catalyst for rural communities in Derbyhire Dales and East Lindsey (Lincolnshire) to explore social and cultural identity

• Setting up creative collaborations between musicians in the East Midlands and world music artists from across the globe, in particular Indonesia and China

• Experimenting with new approaches to continuing professional development through action learning

These diverse activities are all linked by our concerns for:

• innovation in artistic practice


• developing and sustaining bespoke relationships between artists and communities of interest
  
  
• inspiring and empowering people through a creative and dynamic involvement in music making.
