VERIFIED

 VERIFIED is about the search for authenticity and acceptance amidst the growing pressures of social media and living in a digital age.

Featuring three original songs written by the Young Creatives and Kate Whitley, Verified blends orchestral instrumentation with contemporary styles such as R&B, reggaeton and rap under the musical leadership of songwriters Abimaro Gunnell, Frances Lobo and trombonist Yusuf Narcin.

It was first performed at Bold Tendencies in June 2023 alongside internationally acclaimed soloists from The Borletti Buitoni Trust - Ruby Hughes, Hyeyoon Park and Simone Rubino, as well as soprano Francesca Chiejina.
