Words and Music

Keys open doors and minds, keep secrets and reveal them, flutter freely from trees and imprison for eternity and they set a musical sound. Readers Yusra Warsama and Darren Kuppan read from works that feature lost keys, magical ones, fumbling at locks, at learning and committing murder, including extracts from Dante and Tracey Beaker, as well as a vintage recording of TS Eliot. Music includes Chopin's Black Key Study, PJ Harvey's Chain of Keys, Bartok's Bluebeard's Castle, Bessie Smith's Lock and Key, Bach channelled by Wendy Carlos and Scott Joplin's Sycamore Rag.
