Proms at... Bold Tendencies Multi-Storey Carpark

The Proms left its plush crimson comfort zone of the Royal Albert Hall and headed down to Peckham in south-east London for two concerts of muisc by Steve Reich, given by the Multi-Story Orchestra in a disused car park

The second instalment of Nonclassical’s “Pioneers of Percussion” Festival last Saturday at Oval Space in east London paired two classics of the percussion repertoire with two new works, and featured the young and ambitious Multi-Story Orchestra. It is a great testament to the quality of these new works that they not only held their own, but were indeed the highlights of the evening.
