A wonderful time had by all at Liberata Collective at the prestigious Stour Early Music Festival. The hospitality was second to none & the warm reception from the packed audience was wonderful!

We are deeply grateful to the Trustees of the Maria Bjӧrnson Memorial Fund for selecting Liberata Collective as a recipient of one of their prestigious grants.

Maria Bjӧrnson was a brilliant theatre, ballet, and opera designer who passed away suddenly in 2002 at the age of 53. It is an honour to receive this award and continue her legacy of artistic excellence
