Produced by The Barbican in association with Arctic Circle:

Efterklang & The Britten Sinfonia perform Parades.

A rare opportunity to see one of the most ambitious and uplifting collaborations of recent years - a performance of Efterklang's 2007 album Parades scored for band and orchestra. The Danish collective's acclaimed music is both soaringly melodic and engagingly intimate; in this setting, it becomes a breathtaking panorama of sound.

'Like a secret musical language born of ice winds and sequestered myth' Mojo

More on Parades:

“This is their Dark Side Of The Moon, their OK Computer; it’s the album Björk wishes she’d conjured in her mind when realising Vespertine, full of mystery and long-term intrigue. Seriously; this is one 2007’s finest LPs, no question” 10/10 Drowned In Sound

“Every so often an album comes along that’s so original it’s difficult to accurately liken it to anything else – even Efterklang’s last album, Tripper, is left behind by Parades” 4/5 Mojo (#23 album of 2007)

“Wholly mesmerizing” 4/5 The Independent

“This is ambitious and exploratory, but very very lovely music” The Word

“More organic than their 2004 debut, Parades is just as richly rewarding” 4/5 Uncut
