Programme Note

A Nonclassical orchestral club night, exploring the use of machines and mechanical influences on classical music.

The centrepiece is the world premiere of Concerto for Drum Machine & Orchestra, performed by the Southbank Sinfonia. Each of the five movements are composed by different composers from across the classical and electronic music scene. 

There'll be a particular focus on orchestral music's relationship with modern technology; human performers exploring mechanical rhythms and new timbres that electronic music has discovered.
