Three nights of music by University of Lincoln students exploring how music can challenge norms and amplify marginalised voices, part of the Loud & Proud season.
Resistance and Reinvention runs over three nights at the Lincoln Arts Centre from Monday 30 November to Wednesday 2 December. It's a student music showcase put on by the Lincoln School of Creative Arts as part of the Loud & Proud season, performed by students from the University of Lincoln's Music degree.
The programme is built around the idea of how music can challenge norms, amplify marginalised voices, and how styles can be reinvented. It's not just a random collection of student pieces; there's a clear thread running through it. The work builds on Per Ardua, an earlier piece by artist McCourt that looked at the experiences of LGBTQ+ personnel in the RAF affected by the historic ban on homosexuality. It took its title from the RAF's official motto, Per Ardua Ad Astra ('through adversity to the stars'), and that same spirit of working through adversity carries over into these three nights.
If you're not familiar with the venue, the Lincoln Arts Centre is the University of Lincoln's public arts centre, focused on contemporary visual and performing arts and on nurturing the next generation of artists. It sits in the heart of the university's city centre campus at Brayford Pool, LN6 7TS, and offers purpose-built spaces including a 450-seat theatre, rehearsal studios and workshops. This particular run takes place in the Auditorium.
