In 2019-20, the University of Greenwich’s Loudspeaker Orchestra launched the first in its series of electroacoustic music concerts, featuring work by leading international artists and some of the university's sound design students.
Our 19/20 concert series celebrated European community through contemporary music, welcoming leading international artists to present their work in the historic musical church of St Alfege in Greenwich.
Speaking about the concerts, Dr Andrew Knight-Hill said: "We were delighted to invite such distinguished guests from across Europe to share their music in the beautiful location of the St Alfege Church. This series has reflected a range of different styles and approaches with both established and emerging artists – all presenting music of the very highest calibre."
