In 2006 we were heavily involved with a global awareness project called Global Warning :

GLOBAL WARNING

Welcome to a concert with a diference.

Gone are the Beethoven's, Mozart's and Leroy Anderson. This year several CLYM groups have given their members the oportunity to compose their own music, to publicise the Global issues which concern us all. Since May this year the CLYM groups have collaborated with a group of artists from ArtForms to produce a unique combined musical, visual and dramatic presentation of 'Global Warning'.

I would like to acknowledge the invaluable contribution of the 'Artists in Residence':

Sara Westaway - Drama Practitioner
Jo Knowles - Visual Artist
Dominic Moor - Music and Multi-media

CLYM conductors:

Stephen Wild, Ray Payne, Jo Richardson, Alison Blair, Simon Pugsley, Julia Breakspear, Fiona Pacey, Carol Yeadon, Ruth Wild, Claire Lewis, Neil Wittmann and sound recording by Nic Ship and Nick Field.

I also acknowledge the support from the head of Arts Development, Clare Biggs in the development of this collaboration and Sara Saeed and Jane Kaye for their help with the administration of the project.

Finally, can I thank all the young musicians for composing the music and for their commitment to the project.

Brendan Duffy - Project Leader.

Participating groups:

Flutes Leeds, City of Leeds Youth Training Orchestra, City of Leeds Youth Jazz Rock Orchestra, Leeds Schools String Orchestra, Leeds Schools Choir, Leeds Schools Concert Band.
