 Video: The LAO performs the 3rd (final) movement of 'Flight'. The video was created by Raphael Neal, an actor and writer from France, known for Marie Antoinette (2006), Trouble Every Day (2001) and Fever (2014).The London Accordion Orchestra’s most recent concert at the Union Chapel was timed to coincide with the launch of their CD (cover left), recorded at Abbey Road last summer. During this concert they filmed a music video to help promote the CD. The Union Chapel concert in London was part of the Daylight Music series, which brings together an eclectic mix of performers for the audience to experience new music. The London Accordion Orchestra managed to fit 40 accordionist and 3 percussionists on to a tiny stage, making full use of the pulpit space too! The concert was well received, especially the world premiere of 'Peace', written by Ian Watson - musical director. The music was inspired by a trip to Normandy, and recollects the Normandy landings of World War Two, with a soaring refrain that temporarily denies the listener the grand ending they are expecting. The concert meant we were able to introduce the accordion orchestra sound to a wider audience, exactly what the Daylight Music series aims to do. The CD is available for download from http://www.londonao.co.uk/ as well as T-Shirts and scores of some of the pieces. Do take a look – the proceeds all go back into the orchestra’s funds for future concerts and competitions. |
