A concert to mark Arts Council England's 70th anniversary on 11 November at the Arnolfini, Bristol, will feature a newly commissioned 30 minute work Dance where the Spirit Enlightens for mixed ensemble. Bringing together a diverse group of musicians ranging from professionals to students, the music marks the 70th anniversary of the Arts Council with seven movements representing seven decades and also depicts key elements of Arts Council England's support: collections; combined arts; dance; libraries; literature; museums; music; theatre and visual arts.

​The seventeen piece ensemble features Ruth Watson - oboe/cor anglais; Andrew Loveridge - saxophones; Belinda Evans - soprano; David Thornton - euphonium; Steph West - harp; Alice Cleaver - cello; RSVP Bhangra and members of Lydbrook Band, conducted by Ian Holmes. Additional music by RSVP Bhangra and words by Andy Rashleigh.
