Friday 14 September 2007, 17.30–19.00

Performed by members of the London Symphony Orchestra, maverick composer Alvin Curran’s Maritime Rites is a sculptural sound piece staged on a barge on the Thames and on the banks of Tate Modern. At this UK premiere, the LSO lead improvisers and volunteers who join in with the bells of St Paul’s and Curran to present a rich collage of harbour sounds, foghorns and music associated with the river.

Call For Volunteers

Tate Modern wants to form an ensemble of volunteer musicians to play a new Alvin Curran score on the Millennium Bridge as part of UBS Openings: Live, Alvin Curran: Maritime Rites on Friday 14 September.

If you are interested and can play a portable acoustic instrument (one that does not need a chair), please contact Cleuci de Oliveira for more information at cleuci.deoliveira@tate.org.uk 

We need to know the instrument you play, the length of time you have been playing it, and if you can attend a rehearsal the day before the performance. The rehearsal will take place at Tate Modern on the evening of 13 September 2007. You will also be asked to come in advance of the performance on 14 September 2007.
