A History of Hackney in Sound and Vision with Hackney Community Orchestra

A celebration of 100 years in Hackney through music, film and still images. Hackney Community Orchestra is an accomplished local music group which plays music of many styles and traditions. For this performance, the orchestra has collaborated with film-makers and archivists to select a range of visual materials from Hackney’s past. These are being matched with appropriate music which the orchestra will perform live alongside the footage. The result will be a unique and vibrant illustration of some of the cultural life and history of Hackney over the last hundred years.
