Atelier Armonico is a performing arts company that creates high quality productions rooted in ideas of social justice and inclusion, inspired by the belief that great art can change the world.

Our productions draw on a wide repertoire - from Mozart and Bizet to Falla and Weill - chosen for its power to illuminate what is urgent and unresolved: sexual violence and domestic abuse, displacement, the search for belonging, the longing to return to something true, and other questions that span the full breadth of the human experience, which are as relevant today as when the music was written.

We bring this repertoire to intimate spaces, with small ensembles and close creative collaboration, in the conviction that proximity matters: between musicians, between performers and audiences, between art and life.

Alongside our main-stage work, we create community projects that are driven by the same values and the same ambition. Living Seams brought refugee and migrant communities into the centre of a performance about memory and identity. Echoes of Home, our current project in partnership with Art Refuge and Care4Calais, uses dance and visual art to explore what it means to carry a culture across a border. With Carmen’s Voice, survivors of domestic abuse and gender violence in Yorkshire use the arts to reclaim their own narratives and bring their perspectives to the stage through a production of La Tragédie de Carmen.

At the heart of our work is a commitment to supporting young professional artists: through performance and training opportunities, as well as multi-disciplinary community projects.
