CAP presents:
WCM (Working Classical Music) Orchestra.
Following the success of the last series of performances collecting found musicians and playing original music by award winning composer/multi instrumentalist James Hesford, based on found objects, Cellorhythmics Acoustic Project (CAP) will now move into its 2nd stage - the Working Classical Music Orchestra , featuring 10 outstanding players from diverse musical backgrounds: jazz, contemporary classical, experimental art pop/rock, soul and world.
It will continue its musical journey developing its unique style of driving beats and idiosyncratic harmony, giving ample space for each performer to express their individual improvisational ideas within tightly structured compositions. James Hesford will continue to present a new work for each performance throughout the year.
Cellorhythmics Acoustic Project gratefully acknowledges financial support from
the PRS Foundation for new music.
