Upcoming Events
London Contemporary Music Festival
17th January 2025 At the Wigmore Hall where Filippo Tommaso Marinetti first introduced futurism to Britain in a lecture in 1912. An extremely rare visit by Luigi Russolo’s infamous intonarumori (noise intoners). This will be the first time these instruments have been to the UK for over 110 years, since they set up camp at the London Coliseum on the eve of war in 1914. Russolo’s intonarumori mark the birth not only of noise music and sound art but of experimental music itself!

However, if you are at all interested please follow this link to complete a short form to indicate whether or not you might be able to attend and even if not to say whether or not you have existing links with university departments and/or send a message to the organisers. |
