SHADWELL Ensemble's inaugural concert, live from the Octagon, Queen Mary University of London.

The broadcast will begin on 14th Jul 2021 7:30pm (BST) with on-demand video available for 1 day after the show.

Since 2009, SHADWELL has always been about bringing hugely talented young musicians together to perform: in theatres and concert halls; in churches, gardens and warehouses; live, on the TV, and now, online.

From the Octagon, Queen Mary University, SHADWELL Ensemble’s inaugural concert features a programme devised by its fantastic players, with pieces that celebrate space, distance, togetherness and joy in music making.

Introduced by Love Ssega and featuring conversations with some of the evening’s performers and composers, the event will be performed live in front of a small audience of children from schools in Tower Hamlets who were involved in a workshop project.

The programme:

Charles Ives The Unanswered Question — Barbara Monk Feldman Verses for Vibraphone — György Kurtág Ligatura-Message to Frances-Marie

Richard Baker Learning to Fly (soloist: Oliver Pashley) — Cassandra Miller Perfect Offering

Julius Eastman Stay On It
