We performed a snapshot of our Mahler and the Mountain Adventures (for Grown Ups), with Jessie Maryon Davies leading brave mountain adventurers to new heights. Group exercise to the soundtrack of Gustav Mahler… it’s what he would have wanted!
We set music in motion at the Southbank Centre's Classical Mixtape: A Live Takeover. Joining our fellow resident orchestras for a one off orchestral takeover where concert-goers roamed freely and enjoyed a pick ’n’ mix of classical favourites.
