YARMONICS returns in 2024 with a brand new approach. Responding to a comprehensive audience and artist consultation in 2022 this year YARMONICS will work with two Artists and a Collective to produce three artists residencies, alongside a scaled-down day of performance on the third weekend in September.

We are extremely excited to be working with Shortwave Collective, Nwando Ebizie to create three brand new works. Each Artist and collective will work with local community groups including Feathers Futures, Great Yarmouth Refugee Outreach and Support, Age Connects and Red Herring Press and spend an extended period in Great Yarmouth, connecting on a deeper level with the place and its people.

The residency artists will present work - either in concept, progress or completed - at the festival on 21st September. Also during this day of celebration, a number of invited musicians and sound artists will give site-specific performances, including Ecka Mordecai, Fritz Welch, Dirty Electronics, Rie Nakajima and more.. There will also be installations from Beverley Carruthers and Luke Gottelier open during the whole day and before and after the festival, and a closing event co-created with FENWOMEN.

Produced in partnership by Eastern Ear and originalprojects;, YARMONICS is a festival of sound and new music that celebrates the sounds, people and places of Great Yarmouth.

The festival is led by Oliver Payne and Kaavous Clayton.

It features installations, performances, workshops with local groups, and talks. The festival is always free to attend. YARMONICS has invited a number of artists, musicians, academics and writers to create work that responds to specific spaces and places in Great Yarmouth.
