A London Kaleidoscope

Creative Direction / Programming / Script / Projection Design

A London Kaleidoscope brought the city into the concert hall through animated projections of the buildings in which musical works were composed.

Featuring as part of Kings Place’s London Unwrapped series, the eclectic and fast-paced programme - ranging from Mozart to Grieg, and Ruth Gipps to Jimi Hendrix - was tied together by pre-recorded narration and cityscape sound effects, devised from the diaries, letters and press coverage of each composer.

Requiring extensive archival research to uncover the homes and workplaces of composers throughout London’s history, the project provided a tangible linke between pieces of music and the city that still surrounds us today.
