London Contemporary Orchestra

The innovative ensemble presents orchestral versions of new electronic masterpieces and a UK premiere.

The London Contemporary Orchestra redefines the role of the orchestra in the modern world with their interpretations of striking electronic releases from 2020.

The orchestra has been commissioned to reinterpret the hypnotic electronics of Kelly Lee Owens' ‘Arpeggi’ and the immersive poignancy of Duval Timothy’s ‘Look’.

These meditative pieces accompany the first UK performance of a magnum opus from Sigur Rós guitarist Kjartan Sveinsson.

Der Klang der Offenbarung des Göttlichen (‘The Explosive Sonics of Divinity’) is described by Sveinsson as a ‘four-act opera’. This rare first-time performance brings out two major influences on Sveinsson’s approach to composition, the natural landscape of his home country, Iceland, and the explosive sounds of Sigur Rós.
