Letters to the Future is a Canadian/United Kingdom music and literary artistic exploration supported in part by the National Creation Fund. 

 Inspired by Percy Bysshe Shelley's notion that "poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world”, the project is built on the belief that artists shape policy decisions and public opinion through imagination and the power of music.

We are bringing together songwriters and thinkers from both countries for a week in April 2025 on Prince Edward Island to envision the future we want to live in.

The songs written from this Incubation week will be shaped for the stage with our Illumination Creative Team in September 2025 at Theare Aquarius and we will send our musical letters in performance into the future to inspire, challenge and delight with a world premiere and tour in the UK in February, 2026.

Jeanette Winterson writes "art does not imitate life, art anticipates life." We intend to do this.
