Dance Suite
Southbank Centre, Purcell Room, SE1 8XX , [Venue Details]If you’ve ever imagined what baroque music might sound like tweaked for a modern audience, Alex Groves’ tunes, and Zubin Kanga’s performance, can show you.
A set of baroque dances for the 21st century, Dance Suite channels the sounds of the contemporary dance floor into four vivid and punchy tracks.
Created by composer Alex Groves and performed by pianist, composer and technologist Zubin Kanga, Dance Suite presents as a collection of hyper-pop songs full of kick drums, synths and snares based on the age-old format of the Baroque suite, bringing together classical virtuosity, queer culture and novel technologies.
Performed on the ROLI Seaboard, Dance Suite explores the messy tangle of emotions found on the dancefloor at 2am, and each movement has a little nod back to the baroque form that inspired it.
Alex Groves is an Ivor Novello Award–nominated composer and curator working across contemporary classical and electronic music. Described as ‘hypnotic’, ‘grungy’ and ‘energising’, his music tickles the mind and the body, sometimes with expansive sonic landscapes and other times with pounding rhythms and infectious hooks.
