Richard Scott (2/2): LCO Inspired by Architecture Study Day

LCO New: Explore 'Inspired by Architecture' Study Day
23 November 2009, London City Hall

Architect and musician Richard Scott of Surface Architects speaks about creative process links between music and architecture and how his own designs were inspired by the pioneering work of composers John Cage and Steve Reich. Student composers from across the UK & Ireland who attended the Study Day were invited to compose a short composition for London Chamber Orchestra inspired by two RIBA award-winning buildings: Marcus Lee's Frame House (Rowe Lane, Hackney) or Cany Ash's Hothouse (London Fields).

Six short-listed compositions will be workshopped and recorded at a free East Festival event at The Octagon, Queen Mary University of London, Mile End on Saturday 6 March 2010, 10am-5pm. The final run-through starts at 4pm. Come along and experience the creation of new music. All are welcome!
