Beatbox Concerto for Kids featuring Shlomo February 20, 2010

hat would you write for beatboxer Shlomo's mouth to match the might of a world class orchestra?

Southbank Centre Artist in Residence and beatboxer Shlomo works with one of the UK's hottest composing talents Anna Meredith and a specially created orchestra made up of players from Southbank Centre's four resident orchestras - London Philharmonic Orchestra, London Sinfonietta, Orchestra of the Age of Enlightment and Philharmonia Orchestra - to perform a special children's version of Concerto for Beatboxer and Orchestra, an exciting mix of beatboxing and contemporary classical music.

Featuring a chance to try beatboxing with Shlomo for some members of the audience and performances from the ensemble, as well as the Concerto itself, this family-friendly concert created especially for Imagine offers a fun introduction to the magic of music and collaboration.

Suitable for ages six and over
