Take part in Longplayer Live
Applications are now open to 18-25 year olds for an opportunity to train and perform as part of Longplayer Live, a 1000 minute performance of a 1000 year long piece of music, taking place at Roundhouse in April.
As part of Longplayer’s 25th anniversary celebrations, we are offering a rare and unique opportunity to take part in a workshop at the Roundhouse on the 5th March with Jem Finer, Longplayer’s composer, and longstanding performer and custodian of the work, Ansuman Biswas. Jem and Ansuman will train participants in how to play the singing bowl, Longplayer’s score, and in durational performance, and will provide unique insight into the philosophical, artistic and technical background of Longplayer.
Of the 36 workshop participants, 18 will then be selected to perform as part of the Longplayer Live orchestra on the 5th April. This is a unique opportunity to be part of a composition that will last 1000 years. Performers will join the Roundhouse creative community and be invited to become future custodians of Longplayer, helping to shape its next quarter century.
Deadline for applications: 19th February. See here to apply and for further information: https://www.roundhouse.org.uk/
