Production details
Co-written by one of the UK's hottest composing talents, Anna Meredith and Southbank Centre Artist in Residence, beatbox artist Shlomo, this piece is a modern classical work, recognising the human voice box as a musical instrument in its own right. Six of the UK’s leading beatboxers, including Shlomo as the soloist, current World Female Champion Bellatrix and former UK Champion MC Zani, perform amongst a specially created 20-piece orchestra, selected from all Southbank Centre's Resident Orchestras - London Philharmonic Orchestra, Philharmonia Orchestra, London Sinfonietta and Orchestra of the Age of Enlightment as well as acclaimed cellist and fellow Southbank Centre Artist in Residence Oliver Coates. Conductor Andre de Ridder of sinfonia ViVA leads the musicians in this groundbreaking new work.
