Gala Performances of Contemporary Classical Music in support of the South London

Fuse Arts presents two evenings of newly commissioned contemporary classical music by acclaimed composers Laura Bowler, Elo Massing, Jacob Thompson, Mihailo Trandafilovski, Drew Wilson and Raymond Yu with creative direction from Mihailo Trandafilovski. Reflecting the philosophy of Fuse Arts, these two events bring together artists working in different disciplines in the development of new works of art. The proceeds of ticket sales go towards supporting the South London Gallery and its award winning education programmes for children, families and young people.

Performances by the Kreutzer Quartet and Lontano Ensemble are the outcome of a unique collaboration of musicians coming together to musically map the borough of Southwark with new compositions written in response to this inner city landscape.

Thursday 25 March sees Odaline de la Martinez, the BBC Proms’ first female conductor, lead musicians from the Lontano ensemble. They perform compositions by Drew Wilson, Odaline de la Martinez, Jacob Thompson and Raymond Yu. These compositions are complemented by new works resulting from six workshops with A-Level music students at City of London Academy in Southwark led by composer, singer and pianist Juwon Ogungbe.
