Orchitecture Brixton

Step into a world where music and architecture unite in perfect harmony. This isn't your typical concert! Orchitecture Brixton will transform the Town Hall into a living, breathing symphony, where you can walk amongst the musicians as they perform. It’s a chance to see, hear, and feel the music up close in a completely new way.

Produced by Aswarm, a Brixton-based arts and social enterprise company, in collaboration with the renowned Chineke! Foundation – Europe’s first majority Black and ethnically diverse orchestra – and supported by Brixton’s own Orbital Sound, this large-scale, interactive event promises to redefine how we experience performance and place.

Professional musicians from Chineke! Foundation will perform the Othello Suite alongside their talented junior orchestra and local young musicians from Lambeth Music Service, conducted by Enyi Okpara, to create a sensory masterpiece that celebrates diversity, creativity, and community.

The event will conclude with an informative talk featuring Lambeth Archives, Aswarm, and the musicians, followed by an opportunity for you to ask questions.

This event promises to be a true treat for the senses, and as the first orchestral installation ever staged in a civic space, it will be a premiere for Lambeth!

This event is supported by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and Lambeth Mayor.
