Sasha Waltz

London Sinfonietta

The London Sinfonietta shines a light on new voices and pioneering classics, blurring the lines between performer and audience – and you can be part of it. In celebration of the Southbank Centre’s 75th anniversary, the orchestra weave together its past, present and future in the Queen Elizabeth Hall, while blurring the lines between performer and audience. 


Christian Mason’s In Time Entwined, In Space Enlaced, originally commissioned for the London Sinfonietta’s 40th birthday, invites 36 harmonica players from the audience to contribute to an ethereal soundscape, merging seamlessly with the onstage ensemble.

Envelop in a hypnotic interplay of music and dance: the London Sinfonietta partners with world-renowned German dance company Sasha Waltz & Guests for the cross-disciplinary UK premiere of Terry Riley's groundbreaking open composition In C. Revolutionary at the time of its writing (1964), it is considered the first piece of minimalist music.

Built using 53 fragments of sound and choreography, performers improvise within a structured framework to create an ever-evolving spectacle of melody, polyphony, and movement.
