BBC Proms: Lace Machine Music - meet the composer and the inspiration behind it!

How can an orchestral piece of music reveal, interpret, and celebrate Nottingham's lace heritage and current lace industry and the art of lace making? How can heritage and composition be combined?

On Sunday 8th September, the first ever BBC Prom in Nottingham will be held at the Theatre Royal Concert Hall. Composer Elizabeth Kelly, from the University of Nottingham, has been commissioned to write a piece for this prom. Her piece, entitled 'Lace Machine Music', takes its inspiration from Nottingham's rich lace industrial heritage, the sounds of the lace machines and the lace factories, and also the current lace-making happening in the city and surrounding area.

Join Elizabeth and those who inspired 'Lace Machine Music' at the Theatre Royal Concert Hall for a pre-concert talk and short film about the compositional process. There will be plenty of time to ask your own questions as well.
