Fair Winds & Following Seas - A New Commission with The Broken Orchestra
Here at Freedom Festival Arts Trust, we're excited to announce a new commission with our partners at Hull Maritime, with support from Arts Council England and In Situ. Our Associate Artists, The Broken Orchestra, have created a brand new audio tour 'Fair Winds & Following Seas' an immersive experience that can be downloaded directly to your mobile device for you to enjoy as you walk through the city centre.
With spoken word by Vicky Foster, this tour explores Hull’s maritime heritage through a 3D medium of words and music, weaving together to guide you through the rich history of our Old Town. The project will premiere at Freedom Festival 2024.
Fair Winds & Following Seas
‘A nautical phrase used to wish the listener well on their journey. Wishing for good weather conditions and safe travels, it is a verbal gesture of good luck to those leaving port and heading out into the great and empty expanses of the sea'
