About Ethan Ward Quiet Concert II: Prana: North Indian classical and fusion music
Join us for this month’s quiet concert featuring music from Prana: North Indian classical and fusion music for sitar, tabla, violin, bansuri and handpan. We have thought about some of the sensory issues that can keep people away from many events and made some small but important adjustments.
What we will do differently includes:
Asking audiences for quiet applause, such as only using 2 fingers from each hand, patting the leg, or using the BSL sign for applause
Keeping the concert to one hour in length and having breaks between pieces every 10 minutes so that you can move around, wriggle or chat quietly for a few minutes
Keeping light levels low
Using rugs, cushions and benches as well as chairs so that you can sit how you prefer
Keeping numbers down to avoid crowding
Choosing relatively quiet instruments from the University’s world-famous Musical Instrument Collection and not using electric amplification
Scheduling in the afternoon so you don’t have to travel home in the dark or when the streets are too busy
Providing a space in the Laigh Hall to escape to if you need it
The musicians who will be performing are all highly skilled, so you will experience top-quality music making.
If this appeals to you, why not come along? Consultant and Autist in Residence: Lucy Whitehead
