Jem Finer directs Longplayer's spectacular first-ever live performance: a 1,000 minute section from its 1,000 year duration. A tiny fragment from its great expanse, Longplayer Live will be played by a 26-strong all-star orchestra on a unique 20-metre wide instrument, with highly resonant singing bowls for tone generators and humans for power. Jem Finer's Longplayer is famously the longest non-repeating piece of music ever composed.
