Famous for its endless dark skies, huge forest, and almost complete lack of phone signal, Kielder is one of the few places in the North East where you can experience full, proper silence.
However, stumble across the right clearing later in the year and you may just hear a choir, as a musician has been commissioned to 'capture' the spirit of Kielder with a musical composition, which will be written throughout 2022.
Jenny Mahler, a classically trained pianist who grew up and lives in the Cotswolds but has familial connections to the North East, will be immersing herself in the landscape and culture of the area and working with local people for the composition.
