Curved

Curved was founded by Alexander Armstrong and Peter Lindsay to give a lifelong passion to anyone who would never consider themselves a ‘classical music type’. It was started out of a shared love of this music, and a long-held frustration with the many barriers preventing many people sharing in that enjoyment. People love music. But great classical music is off-putting, overwhelming and boring to most: stuffy concert halls, long performances of unfamiliar music, expensive prices for good seats, and a feeling that it’s ‘not for me’. Curved will change all of that - starting with our first live immersive musical and visual experience: BACH, coming to London in 2023! Authentic Bach taken out of the church and concert hall and flung into a dreamworld, with light installations, state of the art sound projection and physical movement to make the most compelling hour of live music imaginable. Brought to you by Alexander Armstrong and created and directed by Cal McCrystal (ENO’s HMS Pinafore, Gifford’s Circus). An hour-long rollercoaster through Bach’s greatest music with live musicians, mind-expanding visuals, and a glamorous setting. Whether completely new to classical music or already a fan, this immersive experience will open up Bach for you like never before. Witness his best music performed by some of the best baroque musicians but in a visceral presentation about as far from concert hall as you can get.
