Enlighten Festival
Description
Transition Festival is a sound and light festival encouraging visitors to Bury town centre. 18th - 19th November 2016 ENLIGHTEN Bury is a new sound and light festival bringing together a stellar programme of world premieres, award winning artworks and international musicians.
Curated Place have partnered with Bury Art Museum & Sculpture Centre to develop ENLIGHTEN Bury, a new sound and light festival that will take place over two nights, reinventing the experience of Light Night into a town-spanning art installation trail alongside an international music festival.
An astonishing array of interactive light and sound installations will bring the streets, venues, galleries and bars of Bury’s cultural quarter to life, while stars of the experimental world music will play into the night.
ENLIGHTEN Bury features music and A/V performances from Hannah Peel, Wrangler, Plaid, Sykur, Orka, Wyles & Simpson, Cobby and Litten, James Orvis and more, with visual art interactives from BAFTA-winning Seb Lee-Delise, Felix Thorn, Paul Friedlander, The Owl Project and Stanza to name but a few.
Installations, the light walk, and The Met performances are FREE, while music concerts in the Transport Museum and Parish Church are ticketed.
