Description: | The following pages are extracts from the programme of The City of London Sinfonia's 'Apocalypse Then...' concert. The performance was held at the Queen Elizabeth Hall at London's South Bank Centre, and featured a musical collaboration between the CLS and musicians such as Najma Akhtar together with storyteller Kevin Graal. The musical sequence "Improvisation" was based on workshops led by Graal, which explored riddles, mythology, African chants and childhood memories. Akhtar led the orchestra in an improvisational piece which started with the invocation of a Sanskrit prayer which slowly blended into raag based improvisation. | Subjects: | Musical performances Programme Performing arts Music | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Creator: City of London Sinfonia Associated Person/Organisation: Queen Elizabeth Hall | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=4779... | Go to resource |
