"Being a member of the Creative Arts LLP surrounded me with like-minded artists who were really passionate about their particular talents, whether it be singers, or art historians, or composers etc. The LLP served as a melting pot for different artists to collaborate. My friend has a poetry collection and I compose music, so we’ve teamed up and are now writing a song cycle using her poetry as the text!"
