This world premiere by composer Luke Styles (DMA Artistic Director) and librettist Hazel Gould is performed by local favourites the White Cliffs Symphonic Winds, alongside choirs from St Edmund’s and Warden House Schools and Dover young people from DMA’s innovative brass project Bold As.

This oratorio celebrates the herring gull, a threatened symbol of the Kent coast, as the brave gull’s story is brought to life in words and music.
