World Harp Congress: Cardiff

Louise Thomson and Polly Ives (narrator) perform a new musical version of the book ‘Mixed’ based on the original book written and illustrated by Arree Chung and published by Macmillan Publishing Group. The music is composed for harp by Paul Rissmann as part of a new commissions project by Concerteenies thanks to an Arts Council England grant in 2021. The reds, the yellows, and the blues all think they’re the best in this vibrant, thought-provoking picture book from Arree Chung, with a message of acceptance and unity. In the beginning, there were three colours… Reds, Yellows and Blues. All special in their own ways, all living in harmony–until one day, a Red says Reds are the best! and starts a colour kerfuffle. When the colours decide to separate, is there anything that can change their minds? A Yellow, a Blue, and a never-before-seen colour might just save the day in this inspiring book about colour, tolerance, and embracing differences.
