Shirley J. Thompson<\/a><\/strong> (pictured), the tournament\u2019s Composer in Residence. MOMENTUM<\/i>, the concerto for footballers and orchestra, consists of a choreographed routine of football tricks set to music. Meanwhile Beautiful Game, <\/i>a Tournament Anthem inspired by words and lyrics submitted by fans across the country, honours the achievements of women footballers and the bright future of the game. Both are recorded by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.<\/p>\nIn addition, women composers Rosie Bergonzi, Charlotte Harding, Alice Phelps, Detta Danford, Sam Mason and Raye Harvey have been working \u2013 alongside RPO musicians \u2013 with community members in Host Cities to create Local Anthems reflecting the spirit of each area. Quintets from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra will be in attendance on match days to excite the crowd by playing their Local and Tournament Anthems. The public is also invited to take part in the Momentum Challenge, performing specific football tricks to the music of Thompson\u2019s new concerto.<\/p>\n
Further offerings include The Supercompensation Cycle, <\/i>an immersive and participatory artwork inviting the public to warm up for each match by replicating the movements of live performers. There\u2019s also a new piece to accompany the building of a Stadium for the Future\u00a0 <\/span>\u2013\u00a0<\/span><\/i> a huge undertaking by the practically-minded collective Idle Women <\/i>to build the first dedicated women\u2019s football ground in the UK: during UEFA Women\u2019s EURO 2022, women from across the UK will gather in fields, parks, and underpasses to dance at site-specific raves. These will culminate in a recorded sound piece that will broadcast until the stadium is complete.<\/p>\nCommenting on the programme, Caterina Loriggio, Arts and Heritage Lead for the UEFA Women\u2019s EURO 2022, said:\u00a0\u2018We are delighted to be working with an extraordinary group of artists, historians, players, collaborators and institutions across the country to realise a significant arts and heritage programme that will pay tribute to women who have dedicated their lives to the game of football. We are thrilled to be sharing these stories and hope that it will nurture the next generation of fans and women football players\u2019.<\/p><\/body><\/html>\n
