These moving songs of hope and anger were written in the late 1700s and early 1800s to build and sustain the movement in Britain to abolish the transatlantic slave trade. Highlighting the horrors of slavery, these songs of protest once had an international reach.

Newly rediscovered in the archives of the British Library, the songs receive their first professional public performance in the modern era by Ensemble 360 and guest singers, alongside historic writings brought to life by actors.

About the Artists

Ensemble 360 musicians

Ensemble 360

Ensemble 360 has gained an enviable reputation across the UK for the quality and integrity of their performances. Formed in 2005, eleven musicians of international standing came together to take up residency in South Yorkshire with Music in the Round, establishing a versatile group comprising five string players, five wind players and a pianist.  Get a glimpse of them in performance here.

The Ensemble 360 musicians share a passion for the music which radiates through each performance. Their enthusiasm, drive and musicality captivate audiences both through the quality of their playing and their engaging spoken introductions. Due to the flexible nature of the group’s line-up the repertoire possibilities are enormous; anything from baroque duos, through classical quartets to new commissions for all eleven players.
