Hub Member's Profile: Multi-Story
‘forget fusty concert halls, the future of music is emerging in a municipal car park' (The Times, 2011)
Multi-Story is a project that brings classical music to unexpected places, run by composer Kate Whitley and conductor Christopher Stark.
It began in 2011 with a performance of Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring for 100 musicians in a car park in Peckham Rye, London. The Multi-Story Orchestra plays in the car park every summer as well as touring schools, playing in nightclubs, and running choir and education projects across the country.
