NEWS: Stories Of Sanctuary @ Durham Cathedral, ARC & The Cumberland Arms

With a hugely successful launch event last year, the Stories of Sanctuary community project returns to the North East across three venues this month. Thursday 21^st March it’s at Durham Cathedral, Friday 22nd March is at ARC Stockton and Sunday 24^th March it’s The Cumberland Arms.

Stories of Sanctuary is made up of the Sanctuary Seekers Choir, featuring the National Syrian Orchestra’s Raghad Haddad along with the project’s curator and singer-songwriter Sam Slatcher. The show itself is filled with emotion and passion and makes for an emotive, thought-provoking evening, with original songs written and performed by those with experience of seeking sanctuary.

With Durham’s rich history of offering sanctuary a key influence on the work, there’s a warm invite extended into a project that inspired some long-lasting new friendships and created tender, beautiful songs of real depth, and links the past with the present.

Stories Of Sanctuary is at Durham Cathedral on Thursday 21^st March, ARC Stockton on Friday 22nd Marchand The Cumberland Arms on Sunday 24th March.
