Portsmouth Guildhall

Sinfonia Smith Square joins forces with contemporary ensemble, The Hermes Experiment, for a concert that celebrates innovation, collaboration, and the thrill of the unexpected.  

Moments of quiet intensity shimmer alongside playful jazz, improvisation, African-inspired rhythms, and inventive orchestral colours, creating a rich musical palette.  

The concert culminates in the world premiere of Misha Mullov-Abbado’s Concerto for The Hermes Experiment and Orchestra, a bold new work written for this unique collaboration. The commission of Misha Mullov-Abbado’s Concerto has been generously made possible by the Fidelio Trust, the Finzi Trust, the Hinrichsen Foundation and the Marchus Trust.
