The artists – Leontay, Evan, and Isaac – were chosen to compose and build this unique soundtrack.
The production, 2 Sides of a Coin, will tackle themes including crime, poverty and education from dual perspectives and promises to be a powerful and thought-provoking piece.
Mr Winchester said: “Working with these young artists has been an inspiring journey. Their passion and creativity have produced something truly special, and I’m confident the music will resonate deeply with audiences.”
