DJ Yoda is set to perform a classical concerto alongside the Heritage Orchestra on July 26th at London’s Scala.
In the one off event – which is part of Audi’s Remastered Project –the DJ and Orchestra will unite for the premiere performance of Gabriel Prokofiev’s pioneering new work concerto for Turntables & Orchestra.
Speaking about the ambitious project – which will see DJ turntables surrounded by classical instruments – Prokofiev said: “From Edgard Varese’s experiments with reel-to-reel and ‘organised sound’, to the proto-sampling of Musique Concrete, led by Pierre Schaeffer in the 1950s, classical composers have a rich history of manipulating recorded sounds, that stretches back long before Kool Herc or Grandmaster Flash scratched their first records.”
The special event will also feature guest appearances from Warp Records’ Plaid and O Duo.
