Our Reviews

“I just had to write and say how amazing the performance was today. It was absolutely stunning and very emotional – it made me cry! Well Done to all of you and Thank you for such a brilliant composition”.

Jenny Cartwright – audience member, Landscapes debut, April 16th 2014

"I am enjoying the piece of Landscapes that we are singing. It flows lovely and makes me feel very happy. The harmonies are really nice. I cannot wait to finish the whole work. I am not familiar with the artists [who inspired the piece], but feel the flow through this piece. I am enjoying the opportunity of working with Emily here at the Turner gallery and look forward to more lovely works from her."

Jackie Doll - Singer in Landscapes, March 2014

"I like the piece. My feelings are stimulated by the music which sounds almost brooding at first, but then gently opens up and takes you along with it through a sense of peacefulness then to a sense of harmony and joy, and with the words, gives you a sense of the artist feeling one with nature: not just in seeing and appreciating but flowing through and incorporating his thoughts and mind almost to the point of being the creator of it. I am enjoying being involved in the Sounds Like Art project.

"Cautiously liking the piece. I think it will grow on me. Some lovely harmonies. "

Joy - Singer in Landscapes, March 2014

"The artists are coming alive in the music. [I] like the piece. [It] makes me feel I am in a Japanese garden. The artists are coming alive in the music. Sounds Like Art project is great and being part of it really special. Thanks. "

“Singing in a choir is a very gratifying and satisfying experience creating music and beautiful sounds gives rise to feelings of well-being. Being involved in singing new music is all this and more. It is exciting, challenging and an adventure. ‘Landscapes’ is a journey that the choir – The Big Sing – is going on with Emily. The music is being written in response to art works but it is for our choir to sing and we are to sing it at the Turner Contemporary, which is very, very special. What we have sung so far is beautiful and sensitive and I look forward to singing more; to see where our adventure, our journey takes us. ”

Sue Flory – singer in ‘Landscapes’, Feb 2014
