Syncopation requires Audio

We are pleased to announce our collaboration with the production team for Syncopation at The Bridewell Centre, London.

CALM will be supplying EM Acoustics speakers with Yamaha and EM Acoustics amplifiers throughout March and April 2024.

1912 New York and ballroom dancing halls are filled with the syncopated beats of ragtime music.  Meatpacker Henry is seeking a new dance partner and when seamstress Anna responds to his advertisement, life takes an unexpected turn. Allan Knee’s award winning two-person drama is a fascinating blend of theatre, music and dance.

CALM supplies ballroom audio magic for Ella’s ball.

CALM Theatre Sounds are pleased to announce repeat business with Newcastle Upon Tyne’s Northern Stage for their production of Cinderella: A Fairytale. Once again CALM are supplying EM Acoustics speakers and amplifiers to augment the ‘epic space’ of Stage 1 & 2 combined together.

Ella misses her mother and father. Her step-mother is the worst, a horrible bully determined to make her life a misery.  Her step-brother and sister are no help.  Nature is her escape and the birds seem to be her only friends.

But, when she meets a boy in the woods who loves to bird watch too, her heart begins to flutter! Her mind races and she begins to believe in the magical power of love.

And then: an invitation for all of us to join in the festive cheer at the Queen’s Christmas ball!

Full of music, dance and comedy, Cinderella: A Fairytale is a retelling of this classic tale for anyone who has ever dreamed that good will always win.
