PERFORMANCE:
Close Encounters: Brixton Road Music Trail
On 21 September, Brixton Chamber Orchestra musicians will be working their way down Brixton Road, performing at bus stops and in small shops along the way. Playing in chamber groups along the route in various surprising and unusual locations, they will eventually come together at Fairfax Gardens on Angell Town Estate for a finale concert and to share their experiences of the encounters they had with the public along the way.
You can encounter them making their way along Brixton Road from 2-5pm, with one group starting at St Mark's Kennington and another at Brixton Police Station, travelling in both directions along the Brixton Road, or join us at 6pm for the final show!
Sunday 21 September 2–7pm
Various locations, no tickets required.
The Brixton Chamber Orchestra (charity 1181169) is a versatile group of instrumentalists which provides thrilling live orchestral experiences for wide-ranging audiences in Brixton and beyond. They champion orchestral music, presenting it to new audiences in unexpected venues. They revel in innovative collaborations with all sorts of artists and genres - Grime to Gospel, Disco to Drum and Bass, Classical to Jazz, and everything in between. They appear all over Brixton - in the market, pubs, clubs, parks, churches & community centres. Sometimes they perform symphonies as a full 30-piece orchestra. Twice a year, they tour Lambeth's housing estates, performing eclectic programmes to hundreds from the local community.
Brixton's own orchestra - a product of local talent and the unique blend of creative energy and cultural diversity which characterises the area.
