Express Symphony

Community violin group, Strung Out, founded by professional violinist and composer Alison Jones, performs an exciting new work together with umbrella music and singing collective Walthamstow Acoustic Massive (WAM).

Express Symphony is inspired by living and working in east London and conveys the everyday motions and emotions of life as seen and experienced by this very local London collective. A reaction to the London that is joyful and colourful, as well as challenging, Express Symphony is a communal expression of what it is like to live in this diverse, multi-cultural and inspirational city.

In a sing-along and play-along extravaganza, more than 50 singers and players will come together to perform Express Symphony and, in addition, interpretations of Hotel California by The Eagles and One Day Like This by Elbow, as well as solo sets from Strung Out and the ukulele and banjo groups. The performance includes interactive elements so that audiences can join in the fun.
