Love Stories by The Love Stories Ensemble, Whitby Community Choir, Sinfonia Viva, and Scarborough Spa Orchestra

This album is inspired by the hidden love stories of South Cliff Gardens, Scarborough, North Yorkshire, UK. The stories were submitted by the local community who then co-created the music in a series of collaborative workshops led by composer Jackie Walduck in the Spring and Summer of 2023.

Each track can be enjoyed anywhere, but has a suggested listening location in South Cliff gardens, Scarborough - you can access a map and more details about the project at https://www.hello-arcade.com/love-stories or download the map directly here: https://www.hello-arcade.com/_files/ugd/7fe163_ec61c1db814f46b1a244408fdbb1f918.pdf
