Loudspeaker Orchestra Concert: Voyages & Inaugural Lecture - Prof. Andrew Knight Hill

• Events Home

A programme of new multichannel immersive compositions inspired by maritime heritage and the iconic Cutty Sark, once one of the fastest sailing ships in the world.

Drawing on rich archive resources and expert curatorial knowledge of the Royal Museums Greenwich, this concert will respond to themes of maritime heritage and its underlying drivers of innovation, human ingenuity, collaboration, ambition for global connection and perseverance.

Hosted alongside the 2025 international Architecture Media Politics and Society (AMPS) conference “Heritages - Critical Questions Contemporary Practices” the programme showcases the potential of sound to re-animate and re-contextualise heritage sites via multisensory experiences.

In partnership with Royal Museums Greenwich.
