Maths and music, synths and soundtracks, with composer and keyboardist Will Gregory – one half of electropop duo Goldfrapp – and the ultra-versatile orchestra Britten Sinfonia.

Will Gregory’s 10-piece Moog Ensemble features illustrious names from the world of pop and classical music, including Adrian Utley of Portishead, Florence and the Machine’s Hazel Mills and composer Graham Fitkin – each bringing their distinctive musicianship to the retro-futurist world of fizzing, funky synths.

The concert’s first half focuses on synthy, sci-fi movie soundtracks and simultaneously pays tribute to electronic music’s two great female pioneers: the BBC Radiophonic Workshop’s Delia Derbyshire and Wendy Carlos, creator of Moog-overdubbed Bach arrangements and the score for Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange. 

In the second half we hear the premiere of Will Gregory’s suite for synths and orchestra, inspired by the theorems of the ancient Greek mathematician and physicist Archimedes. Alongside the work, there will be fascinating insights into the connections between maths and music.   

Like nothing else you will see this year - don't miss it!
