Project Co-ordinator – Midnight Hop Education Project
SoundWorks Discovery Programme
Town Hall & Symphony Hall, Birmingham
Freelance Contract - £6,000 for circa 40 days + expenses
Town Hall & Symphony Hall, Birmingham are two iconic venues that will jointly present over 620 performances a year from October 2007, when Town Hall reopens following a £35 million refurbishment. The two venues are managed jointly by a charitable trust, Performances Birmingham Limited. Our in-house SoundWorks Discovery Programme harnesses the resources of both venues in order to engage our community, offering a range of interactive, participatory experiences.
We are seeking a highly experienced Project Co-ordinator to work alongside the acclaimed saxophonist, rap and hip-hop artist Soweto Kinch (associate artist of Town Hall) in the delivery of a young people’s performance project based on a new work entitled ‘Midnight Hop’.
Written by Soweto himself, ‘Midnight Hop’ explores the hidden history of black musicians in England during the 18th and 19th centuries and issues around the 200th Anniversary of the Abolition of the Transatlantic Slave trade. The young people’s own work will be based on the social and cultural themes of the new commission - both works being performed alongside each other on Saturday 13th October as part of the Town Hall’s Reopening Festival. The post-holder will be expected to co-ordinate all participants, artists, funding bodies and staff in the implementation, overseeing, monitoring and evaluating of this unique experience for young people from all over Birmingham.
Reporting to the Head of the SoundWorks Discovery Programme this post will commence as soon as possible. For an application form and Job Description please contact Rebecca Buswell on 0121 644 6051 or emailRebecca.Buswell@thsh.co.uk. Closing date is Tuesday 1st May. Interviews will be held between the 8th and 11th May.

Through a Carpet of Bluebells
Enjoy walks through woods carpeted with bluebells and learn a little about the history of the landscape
In April and May join our day walks or weekend breaks to explore Wychwood forest, the Oxfordshire Cotswolds and the Cotswold Edge, visiting unspoilt villages, lunching in country pubs and the enjoying the company of fellow travellers.
At the same time learn how the natural landscape was formed and how the people have left their mark on the landscape. From the barrows of the Neolithic people, to the Saxon ridge and furrow and 20th century golf courses see how nature and history have moulded the English countryside - and all best seen on foot.
