The Science Museum awakened after dark with a unique walk-through concert featuring six world-premiere performances. Each was performed by the Aurora Orchestra in the presence of the object or space which inspired its composition, including the London-York mail coach, Charles Babbage's Difference Engine, 2LO, and the Flight Gallery.
The concert took place at 7:45pm at the Science Museum on Saturday 3 October 2015.
The concert directed by Tim Hopkins with Aurora Orchestra conducted by Nicholas Collon included world premiere performances of:
Gerald Barry - The One-Armed Pianist
Barry Guy - "Mr Babbage is Coming to Dinner!"
