Soundhub Showcase ~ Waterloo, London

  • St John’s Waterloo 73 Waterloo Road London, England, SE1 8TY United Kingdom (map)

Four composers. Four world premieres.

This year’s LSO Soundhub Showcase presents a quadruple bill of world premieres exploring the aspects of human experience. Hugo Bell’s Black Box Communion tracks the musician’s heartbeat to create a unique performance exploring the limits of acoustic instruments. Rachael Gibson’s Into My Heart an Air That Kills examines intimacy, connection and voyeurism in a performance that bends and breaks a cello.

Joseph Howard’s Strobe recreates the emotion spectrum of a nightclub experience; a distillation of contemporary lived experience in the 21st century, when life can be restless, thrilling and overwhelming. Finally, inspired by essays from Xiao Si’s Hong Kong Stories, Sze Ying Chan’s Love in a fallen city immerses audiences in the nostalgic memories and stories of Hong Kong, alongside live drawing and animations.
