LONDON PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA | AUTUMN SEASON 2020

The London Philharmonic Orchestra launched its Autumn 2020 season - ‘In the Stream of Life' - in an audience-less Royal Festival Hall. The visual creative direction and lighting for this project are the result of the collaboration between Nathan Prince [Silent Studios] and Nick Gray [Renegade Design]. Having already worked together for over fifteen years on some of the world’s most prolific live experiences in art, fashion and music, this venture marks the duo’s debut into the world of classical music. The unprecedented historical and physical context of these concerts presented an opportunity to break from a traditional visual narrative, creating additional layers of communication with the audience through the incorporation of colour, atmosphere and drama. The lighting saturates each show with a unique character and identity as we move away from classic brown and beige hues. The lighting aesthetic is bold yet intimate, echoing the visual codes of theatre and immersing the orchestra in a dimly lit, hazy, atmospheric concert hall.
