Iconic artists Gilbert and George join forces with the Philharmonia to celebrate their landmark exhibition Gilbert & George: 21st Century Pictures at the Hayward Gallery.
Gilbert and George’s groundbreaking artworks address contemporary society’s big topics – questions of identity that have preoccupied them for half a century. See their striking pictures projected on the Royal Festival Hall's huge screen, while the Philharmonia performs symphonic music exploring the same themes. Gilbert and George are on record saying that they never listen to music - can the orchestra convince them that music is NOT the enemy?
