In Production

Deeply embedded into the story of Calling Us Home, are some of the most topical conversations of our time.

We are exploring these conversations in studio, through a selection of Calling Us Home’s Songs with different artists, different voices and different viewpoints.

 

Shy Music acknowledges that in the current Covid-19 global pandemic, the health and safety of all we come into contact with is our greatest concern. We would like to express our support and empathy with all those who are ill or who have lost loved ones. 

As with all those working in the Theatre, Music and Live Entertainment Industries the Covid-19 pandemic has had a challenging impact on our timelines, our workflow and on our partners and friends.

All dates for performances and projects have been adjusted to ensure maximum safety for our crews, casts, artists and audiences. New dates for touring, auditions and production will be announced as soon as it is safely possible.
