About this Event

Join Concerteenies for a truly unique musical experience combining live music with Polly Ives and Manon McCoy (harp, vocals) and creative wellbeing and meflexology™ with holistic therapist Lynn Butler. Bring your 0-5 year olds to Site Gallery for an immersive session of sound-healing instruments, lullabies, body-scanning and mindfulness.

Site Gallery’s current exhibition, ‘False Note’, is a solo exhibition by Freya Dooley comprising a suite of interconnected works which broadly explore themes of replacement, communication and connection.

Sessions are welcoming and inclusive to all with buggy/ wheelchair access, nappy changing facilities, and breastfeeding is welcome. Kollective Kitchen is open from 8am.

Manon McCoy is a Sheffield-based composer and harpist. Her work explores themes that arise from her own lived experiences such as body, gender, and phenomenological perceptions of time and space. She is particularly interested in the creation of spaces both musical and physical, often designing pieces that rework the performer-audience dynamic. Her writing draws on elements from her training in Western Classical and Contemporary Art Music, British Folk and Indian Classical music, bringing with it a strong sense of storytelling and sharing of space.

Polly Ives is one of the UK’s leading music educationalists with a varied portfolio as a concert presenter, narrator, promoter, workshop leader, trainer and cellist. She regularly produces and presents children’s concerts alongside many highly renowned orchestras, ensembles, soloists and venues (including London Philharmonic Orchestra, London Mozart Players, Britten Sinfonia, Wigmore Hall and Opera North). She has worked with CBeebies, BBC Radio 3 and Scala Radio. She is also Founder and Creative Director of Concerteenies.
