Grantham native, Hannah Coleman, will be performing with Bristol-based operatic group Opera in a Box alongside nine musicians and artists from across the globe for a virtual music festival that will raise money to support Creative Action Institute’s work to advance gender equality and build a more sustainable planet.
The Opera in a Box members will be performing a set as part of Raising Spirits, Creative Action Institute’s online event taking place October 24th at 4:00 pm EST.
They are joining performers from Oxford, Boston (United States), New York City, Cincinnati, Seattle, Kenya, and Cameroon, in this one-night-only event.
Born in Worksop, Hannah was raised in Grantham. Her first musical training was at St. Wulfram’s Church Choir in Grantham at age 10, making her the first girl ever allowed to join the choir.
Growing up in Grantham, Hannah was involved in the Grantham Operatics Society and was a founding member of the Grantham Youth Theatre Society in 2007.
Now living in Bristol, Hannah’s musical passions have led her to start an opera company in the South West, Opera in a Box, which works with young emerging artists to produce small scale, easily accessible performances – aiming to bring opera to a new audience, and to introduce opera in unlikely venues. In non-pandemic times, Hannah continues to sing all over the world in recitals, opera and oratorios.
Tickets are available for purchase on Eventbrite. All proceeds from ticket sales, donations, and sponsorships will support Creative Action Institute’s trainings, coaching, and other services to help girls, mentors, and grassroots leaders develop skills and strategies to achieve gender equality and establish sustainable practices in their communities
