Lost Harmonies: The Search for Music

Lost Harmonies: The Search for Music

The Sweet NothingsStudent/Youth company

After years of living in a world where music has been banned and instruments were destroyed, have we lost the soundtrack to life? When The Sweet Nothings find a hidden recording, a whole new explosion of sound begins to rock their lives. They are left with the only instrument that cannot be destroyed, their voices. Together, they embark on a journey of recreating lost harmonies on their search for sound. Performed by Exeter's premiere female and gender non-conforming A Cappella group, The Sweet Nothings, this show is not to be missed.

Why see this show?

A story about the power of music told entirely through the human voice — no instruments, just harmony. The Sweet Nothings bring genuine warmth and conviction to a premise that is both playful and quietly moving.
