Discover what happens when two worlds collide in a day-long exploration of symphonic electronics

Discover what happens when two worlds collide in a day-long exploration of symphonic electronics.

The modern symphony orchestra offers a galaxy of sounds. But when a generation of composers discovered the potential of electronic technology, that galaxy expanded into a dazzling new universe.

Today, the BBC Symphony Orchestra goes through the electro-acoustic looking glass: exploring and celebrating the composers – from Stockhausen to Shiva Feshareki – who have crossed that threshold, or simply embraced the possibilities that lie beyond. Expect talks, world premieres, cult classics and mind-bending sonic wonders. Above all, expect sounds from beyond the imagination, newly realised and stunningly performed by one of the few orchestras in the world equipped to make it happen.
