London Sinfonietta's 40th Birthday, Royal Festival Hall Spirit Level Together with the Culture Collective, a group of 7 inter-disciplinary artists in music, composition, dance and animation, with the Street Geniuses; photographer Amah Asomani and Nabeel Hassan and Emrul Hassan Marketing, we curated and programmed the 40th Birthday event for the London Sinfonietta. The Culture Collective worked with Mira Calix, composer and electronic arist to create an original integrated composition with dance, music and live animation, called Pop Music! Working with the theme of a Birthday Party we created Pop Music! to celebrate, with 40 balloons in the piece that are popped one by one by each of the performers throughout the performance. Created by violinist/composer Jordan Hunt, pianist Antoine Francois, cellist Nicole Robson, keyboards Rachel Essien, guitar Timo Tuhkanen and guest musician from London Sinfonietta Dave Powell on the Tuba, dancer/choreographer Katie Keeble, live camera footage by Will Crook, and electronics/conductor Mira Calix. We performed the piece twice in the evening, the second performance live on BBC Radio 3 during a live broadcast of compositions from the London Sinfonietta's repertoire. Through-out the event were performances by... Dai Fujikura Eternal Escape for solo cello the performances took place in three rooms, each one a different colour of blue, yellow and red, where different events took place during the night!
