Description:
Join us in Spitalfields Market on May Day for the World Premiere of our unforgettable interactive musical experience ‘Cycle Symphony’. This is a truly unique audio-visual performance and there is a part in it just for you!
Allow us to transport you on a sonic, cinematic and sensory journey around the East End of London through a pedal-powered film created by local artist Mila Lipowicz and a specially commissioned live orchestral and choral soundtrack composed and conducted by Amelia Robinson.
A Ring Cycle for the 21st Century, we invite you to bring along your bicycles and join the percussion as you sound your voice through the striking of a bicycle bell!
The Cycle Symphony is a FREE event for cyclists, East End lovers and for the entire family. Walk or ride, play your part in the chorus of bells!
The audience will be conducted by Robinson as part of the orchestra for a truly immersive experience. Here, she talks about her inspiration for the event:
“This is what it’s like to discover London for the first time.. as a child… as an immigrant… as a young entrepreneur in search of a dream. Riding on bikes, we cycle into the chaos of the city stopping momentarily to appreciate the serenity of the Serpentine, but quickly moving into the magical East End. As our pedals part the puddles that mirror faces of long ago we uncover the past and experience what it must have been like to endure a war from the perspective of a poverty-stricken immigrant community. We unite with their strength and too maintain an unyielding will to survive and overcome. The stories that lie in cracks of cobblestones reflect our own. We are here to give our respect to those who endured a hard life and show them what they have helped the East End to become – a hub of creativity and a scaffold for dreams. Our bells are the voices of today and we ring them as individuals within a larger community as we come together to honour the past, the present and look towards the future.”
