Sensory Concerts - Ford Collier

  • Site Gallery 1Brown Street Sheffield, England, S1 2BS United Kingdom (map)

Concerteenies is thrilled to present Sensory Concerts for 0-3 year-olds and their grown-ups, as part of Site Gallery's Wishful Thinking project.

Listen to high-quality live music and take part in engaging, tactile experiences in a calm, welcoming environment with buggy access, nappy changing facilities, and breastfeeding is welcome.

Ford Collier is a composer, multi-instrumentalist, and performer of folk music who specialises in weaving influences from diverse traditions into his music. Since starting his music career in his teens, he has performed at festivals including Glastonbury, regularly toured the UK, released four studio albums with his two bands, The Drystones and Mishra, and received a nomination for the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk award.

Wishful Thinking explores how gallery spaces can best serve us as a space for reflection, immersion and rest.

Designed by Society of Explorers, Site Gallery’s arts collective of young people aged 14 – 19, Wishful Thinking comes from the expression of the same name, and how young people feel their wants and desires can wrongly be dismissed as implausible.

Through a series of workshops, the Explorers investigated their hopes for a space that feels like a sanctuary for the mind and spirit in the midst of a chaotic world – as one of the group stated “to zoom out and slow down the swirling and worries in my brain”.
