Tiny Stories Biographies:

Kate Romano is the Artistic Director of Lichfield Festival’s ASPIRE! Programme. She’s also a writer and regular presenter on BBC Radio 3, a clarinetist, producer and the CEO of Goldfield Productions. These seven Tiny Stories for Lichfield Festival build on the long-running Radio 3 series Time Traveller and Our Classical Century which Kate has been contributing to for 3 years, writing and narrating over 150 short stories.  Despite generally having large ambitious thoughts, Kate is curiously fascinated by the playful, strange and quirky nature of tiny things.

Rob Godman is a composer and enthusiast for all things ‘sound’. He regularly uses spoken narrative in his works, exploring different languages and dialects, examining the everyday musicality of speech. Rob has a passionate interest in how sound behaves acoustically as a means of helping us explore the space we live in. Many of the field recordings used in Tiny Stories became possible because of the lockdown, making for an uneasy relationship between the destructive pandemic and the resulting quiet that allowed the previously inaudible, to become audible.
