Paraorchestra: The Virtuous Circle

**Let your curiosity lead you among the orchestra as they perform Mozart’s Symphony No.40 on the move, combining with dancers to create an immersive experience.**

Exploring the orchestra as the ultimate embodiment of teamwork, The Virtuous Circle transforms the classical concert into an extraordinary fusion of dance and performance.

Upending orchestral conventions, the performance takes place on the floor rather than on a stage, with the audience positioned at the centre of the action to experience the orchestra in breathtaking surround-sound. From within the beating heart of the performance you are invited to not only hear, but witness the extraordinary synergy of an orchestra in full flow.

In this unseated performance you have the freedom to wander the space, allowing your curiosity to guide you. Every step you take changes your sonic picture and brings you into the inside of this symphony looking out, rather than on the outside looking in.

New compositions from Ivor Novello Award-winner Oliver Vibrans abstract the DNA of Mozart’s opus, delicately threading together the four iconic movements.

Charles Hazlewood, co-director and conductor says: ‘When we hear a Mozart symphony performed in the conventional way, the deep democracy intrinsic to the orchestra is heard; here it is seen, and experienced at a deeply physical – and human – level’.

The ticket price includes a £2 venue restoration levy.
