Title | Confluence |
Description | The Confluence project was born out of the 'Rhynes, Rivers and and Running Brooks' project, which Common Ground launched in the mid-1990s. Confluence was a three-year project from 1998 to 2001 to enable, develop and encourage the creation of new music for the River Stour, from the river's source in Wiltshire, through Somerset and Dorset, and into the English Channel at Christchurch. The project was predominantly funded by a grant from the Arts for Everyone (A4E) scheme of the Arts Lottery. The main focus of the project was the organisation and delivery of a series of participatory music workshops, courses, concerts and events involving people living in the River Stour catchment area. The purpose was to draw people together to share local knowledge, and explore and express their emotional connection to the Stour through music. Helen Porter, the Music Animateur, was active in bringing people together to sing, write and perform, and Karen Wimhurst, the Composer-in-Residence, composed a range of original new works for the project. People at Common Ground who worked on this project include: Sue Clifford, Angela King, Karen Wimhurst, Helen Porter, Darren Giddings (Development Officer), and Kate O'Farrell (Administrator).
This sub-section of the archive comprises a wide range of material relating to the research, planning, funding, administration, promotion, and execution of the project. It includes general project administration papers; papers relating specifically to Confluence projects, events and workshops; papers relating to the financing and funding of the project; research material; papers relating to promotion and publicity; photographic material; and audio recordings. |
