Fusing electronic and orchestral music with Archimedes’ principles, join the Will Gregory Moog Ensemble, Helen Arney and the BBC National Orchestra of Wales for a scintillating night of music.
Half of electronic music sensation Goldfrapp, keyboard-player and composer Will Gregory is one of the UK’s leading advocates of using synthesizers with orchestral instruments to create new sounds, and reinvent old ones! The ten-piece ensemble of analogue synthesizers also features Graham Fitkin and Eddie Parker plus members of Portishead and Florence and the Machine.
Writer, science presenter, geek songstress and ‘Voice of an Angle’ Helen Arney steps to the fore to present this unique event. A familiar face to many, she has appeared on TV, Radio and in theatres across the world with her unique mix of stand-up, songs and science, plus tours with science comedy phenomenon Festival of the Spoken Nerd.
With music based on principles by Archimedes, arguably one of the world’s greatest ever polymaths, and interspersed with his most celebrated theories, this concert is the perfect evening for those who enjoy listening to the most iconic synthesiser, and hearing about one of the world’s greatest mathematicians!
