The Sheffield Philharmonic Orchestra (SPO) is delighted to be bringing award-winning illustrator and author James Mayhew to Elsecar Ironworks, Barnsley. 

James will be painting live onstage while the Sheffield Philharmonic plays music inspired by Fantasy and Fables.  Projected onto a big screen, Mayhew’s artwork will bring the music to life in this amazing multi-media experience.

“It’s quite the tonic to watch Mayhew match colours, shapes and images to the orchestra’s own sweet patterns.” Sunday Times
