Shlomo and the Vocal Orchestra in: BOXED
January 7-8 2010, 7:45pm
Purcell Room, Southbank Centre, London

Southbank Centre are proud to present the first performances of BOXED – a brand new “beatbox theatre” show from Shlomo and the Vocal Orchestra.

This epic escapade sees our beatboxing heroes travel to the future and back via outer space, dropping some soulful vocal gymnastics and slickly staged theatrics along the way.

“This show will be like beatboxing’s answer to Stomp, Blue Man Group and Into the Hoods.” says Shlomo. “I can’t tell you how excited I am about it!!”

BOXED is a turbo-charged story of friendship and adventure demonstrating the power of unity using nothing but the voice boxes of the 10-strong cast. Performing jaw-dropping vocal routines and tunes spanning the musical spectrum from hip hop to jazz to drum n bass and opera, BOXED is not to be missed!

“This brilliant, effervescent ensemble of rapping, riffing, improvising youngsters could drown out the QE2’s foghorn… Slick theatrics… soulful vocal gymnastics.” – Evening Standard

Anna Meredith (who you might have seen recently on TV teaching Goldie how to write orchestral music) is one of the UK’s hottest up and coming composers – she has written two BBC Proms and last year was commissioned for the Last Night of the Proms.

Our new piece will be performed on February 19th and 20th 2010 at the Queen Elizabeth Hall with a specially created 20-piece orchestra, plus the Vocal Orchestra (my 8-piece beatbox choir) embedded within the ensemble.

This will be a challenging modern classical work recognising the human voicebox as a musical instrument in its own right, and also a chance to create the first full notation for beatboxers.

I’ll be blogging and tweeting throughout the whole process, and all the latest info, photo, video, blog posts and links to buy tickets can be found on the Concerto’s project page.

As for myspace it’s here but… I’ve kind of stopped checking / updating it… do any of you still use it? Leave a comment here if you think i should get back onto it!!! Shlo

If you are going down to the festival you can also catch Shlomo and the Vocal Orchestra on the Outdoor Theatre Stage on Saturday at 4.30pm, and Shlo is performing again on the Sunday with Cape Farewell, Jarvis Cocker and Marcus Brigstocke in the Film and Music Arena at 5.25pm.
