We need to know the instrument you play, the length of time you have
been playing it, and if you can attend a rehearsal the day before the
performance. The rehearsal will take place at Tate Modern on the evening
of 13 September. You will also be asked to come in advance of the
performance on 14 September.
Performed by members of the London Symphony Orchestra, maverick composer
Alvin Curran's Maritime Rites is a sculptural sound piece staged on a
barge on the Thames and on the banks of Tate Modern. At this UK
premiere, the LSO lead improvisers and volunteers who join in with the
bells of St Paul's and Curran to present a rich collage of harbour
sounds, foghorns and music associated with the river.
