Will Gregory Moog Ensemble + Britten Sinfonia at Saffron Hall

Music and Maths, Synths and Soundtracks, with Will Gregory – one half of electropop duo Goldfrapp – and the ultra-versatile orchestra Britten Sinfonia.

Will Gregory's 10-piece Moog Ensemble features illustrious names from the world of pop and classical music, including Adrian Utley of Portishead, Florence and the Machine’s Hazel Mills and composer Graham Fitkin – each bringing their distinctive musicianship to the retro-futurist world of fizzing, funky synths.

The first half focuses on sci-fi movie soundtracks and pays tribute to electronic music’s two great female pioneers: the BBC Radiophonic Workshop’s Delia Derbyshire and Wendy Carlos, creator of Moog-overdubbed Bach arrangements and the score for Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange. We hear the London premiere of Will Gregory’s suite for synths and orchestra, inspired by the theorems of ancient Greek mathematician and physicist Archimedes. Alongside the work, there will be fascinating insights into the connections between maths and music.

Will Gregory Moog Ensemble in Southampton

Will Gregory – one half of pop duo Goldfrapp – leads this extraordinary 10-piece ensemble of analogue synths.

A moog is a type of synthesiser that produces electronic sounds of various musical instruments. Presented in surround sound by Turner Sims and the University of Southampton Department of Music’s Future Producers, this one-off performance explores ways of combining these monosynths and demonstrates their fantastic versatility.

Tonight’s line-up includes Portishead’s Adrian Utley and composer Graham Fitkin. They perform works by Bach, John Carpenter, extracts from A Clockwork Orange, and new music from their first album, Heat Ray (released on Mute, June 2024).

‘My first contact with synths was the amazing Switched On Bach; Wendy Carlos’ seminal 1969 record of herself ingeniously multitracked playing Robert Moogs’ modular synthesiser – when the world suddenly woke up to what electronic instruments were capable of. When I heard this beautiful record again, after collecting and recording synths as an adult, I asked myself this question: why had nobody tried playing Bach, or other music, live as an ensemble of monophonic analogue synths? Wendy Carlos had shown us how great these instruments sounded collectively… so could they be taken out of the studio, put in to the hands of some excellent musicians, and played together like any other ensemble of say strings, or brass or voices? I had all these weird synths on shelves gathering dust and realised this could be an excellent use for them. I farmed them out to my musician friends to experiment with and we tried out playing Bach’s 9 part 3rd Brandenburg Concerto. And this became the Moog Ensemble. I am amazed to say everyone who was there on that first day 15 years ago is still in the ensemble, although everyone has now acquired their own less cranky synths to bond with.’

Bristol Ensemble: Ravel's Bolero at St George's Bristol

Bristol Ensemble: Ravel's Bolero at St George's Bristol

Join Bristol Ensemble and Fitzhardinge Consort on a grand tour of France, taking in two of the timeless pinnacles of French classical music, both shiningly original, deeply dramatic and powerfully moving in their own distinct way.

Programme

Fauré Requiem
Ravel Bolero

Fauré’s Requiem holds some of the most beautiful and recognisable melodies the composer ever wrote. Far from the sombre tone of many requiems it seems to evoke a serene, very human sense of wonder grounded in a vast, celestial universe.

Ravel’s Bolero, by contrast – built from a single theme that came to the composer before a dip in the sea – has an irresistible rhythmic drive that builds into a breathtaking, thrilling crescendo – made famous by Torvill and Dean’s legendary ice skating routine at the 1984 winter Olympics. This will be an epic performance for orchestra and choir, approximately one hour in length (7-8pm, or 9-10pm). Vive la musique!

With hugely dynamic arrangements and moments of explosive instrumentals, both artists skirt familiar genres and stories of human existence in unique and vibrant ways.

Bristol-based bassist /singer /songwriter Stevie Toddler creates utterly unique soundworlds, drawing from a whole range of genres – pop, jazz and prog-rock– and a broad palette of artists – Dirty Projectors, Of Montreal and Dusty Springfield amongst many others.

Before watching the performance, audience members were invited to find or make some simple props from around their house which were then used during the show to interact with the performance.

The topsy turvy world of Plink and Boo uses acrobatics, music and mountains of toys, to create interactive filmed circus theatre adventure, exploring what happens when people don’t fit into boxes.

Some might be Plink and others are Boo
Why does it matter, what’s the to-do?
Jumbled up people and boxes too small
Come play in our den and discover it all...

Following on from its debut in the UK at the London Coliseum last year, Disney In Concert: The Sound of Magic, a celebration of over 100 years of Disney experience through its music, will tour the UK for the first time in 2024.
