Experience a unique fusion of mathematics and music with The Will Gregory Moog Ensemble and Britten Sinfonia. This concert brings together the innovative sounds of synths and classical music, featuring composer and keyboardist Will Gregory, known for his work with the electropop duo Goldfrapp. The 10-piece Moog Ensemble includes prominent figures from the pop and classical music scenes, such as Adrian Utley of Portishead, Hazel Mills from Florence and the Machine, and composer Graham Fitkin.

Highlights include Wendy Carlos's Moog-overdubbed Bach arrangements and the score for Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange. The program also features pieces like Bernard Herrmann's Fahrenheit 451 Suite, Charles Ives's The Unanswered Question, and themes from iconic films and TV shows such as John Carpenter's Escape from New York, Vangelis's Chariots of Fire, and the Doctor Who theme by Ron Grainer and Delia Derbyshire.

Adding a unique twist, the concert includes the London premiere of Will Gregory’s suite for synths and orchestra, Heat Ray: The Archimedes Project. This performance is enhanced by the presence of Matt Parker, a renowned stand-up mathematician, who blends comedy with mathematical insights, creating an engaging and educational experience.
