Paraorchestra: Trip the Light Fantastic
Sound and light collide in this sensory electro-orchestral concert created by Paraorchestra in collaboration with Surgeons Girl and Charles Hazlewood.
Electronic music luminary Surgeons Girl’s pulsing, cinematic and powerful techno-soundscapes are filtered through the orchestral realm for Paraorchestra’s musicians by Responding Composer Oliver Vibrans. Expect euphoric electro-orchestral alchemy incorporating a trademark mix of acoustic, analogue and digital instruments.
Trip the Light Fantastic invites us to move towards – and embrace – the light.
The show opens with a new commission from Paraorchestra composer Asteryth Sloane, Prelude to a beginning.
