Saturday 8 September 2012

Driven by a life-long fascination with warning sirens, Jez Colborne, a multi-talented composer, musician and performer, can hear music where most of us hear noise. Working in collaboration with Mind the Gap, he has composed something truly irresistible.

'Irresistible' is a symphony of sirens, a musical experience that combines alarm sirens, other non-traditional instruments and singing voices to create a breathtaking choral work that takes over the environs of Royal Festival Hall for one day only.

Performances take place at 4pm and 7pm.

This event is BSL interpreted and assistance is available on request for blind and visually impaired visitors, including guiding and narration. Please notify a member of staff on arrival if you would like to take advantage of any of these access arrangements.

There is a post-show discussion after the 4pm show which is BSL interpreted and speech-to-text transcribed.
