Anna Meredith: Concerto for Beatboxer and Orchestra [Live]

Anna Meredith is a composer, producer and performer of both acoustic and electronic music. Her sound is often described as ‘maximalist’, ‘uncategorisable’ and ‘genre-hopping’ and straddles the worlds of contemporary classical, avant pop, electronica and experimental rock.

Southbank Centre commissioned Anna Meredith to write a new piece for Beatboxer soloist Shlomo and Orchestra in 2010. The Concerto is an acclaimed modern classical work recognising the human voice box as a musical instrument.

This piece is part of PRS Foundation's New Music Biennial 2017.
