We’re lost in music,
No turning back.
“A unique theatrical experience, as beautiful as it is moving.” ««««The Scotsman
Lost in Music is a new gig-theatre show which retells the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice: the story of a talented musical couple’s journey to hell and back. It’s a story about the power of music which has been told and retold for thousands of years; in Lost in Music, it’s told using the voices of young musicians, telling us what music means to them and how it informs their lives, friendships and sense of self.

Audience feedback
Here are some reactions from people who saw the work-in-progress sharing at the 2017 Edinburgh International Children's Festival:
- "Absolutely loved hearing the young people’s voices interwoven, interpolated, felt sensitive to their natural musicality of their personalities."
- "I really enjoyed the slow build of voices / instruments / song, especially when the words of the young people became songs – would love to hear more of these!"
- "Most compelling piece so far at the festival. Relationships between performers very present. Enjoyed beginning of taking time & space to establish each listening to own music."
- "I enjoyed the mix-up of musical styles & montage & real voices."
