Nu Civilisation Orchestra
Union Chapel, N1 2UN , [Venue Details]Experience a powerful fusion of film, music, and cultural history, as Tomorrow’s Warriors presents John Akomfrah’s ‘The Stuart Hall Project’ with Miles Davis’ soundtrack performed live.
100 years since the birth of Miles Davis, Peter Edwards and a five‑piece Nu Civilisation Orchestra Ensemble, featuring Mark Kavuma on trumpet, honour the jazz legend. John Akomfrah’s acclaimed 2013 documentary paints a portrait of Stuart Hall. The pioneering thinker and co‑founder of New Left Review is one of the most influential voices in British Cultural Studies. Layered with archival footage and Hall’s own reflections, the film explores identity, race, and belonging in a changing world.
Hall once remarked, ‘When I ask people where they’re from, I expect to be told an extremely long story.’ His lifelong exploration of identity finds a powerful counterpart in the shifting musical eras of Miles Davis, performed live to illuminate each chapter of Hall’s journey.
More than an accompaniment, the NCO Ensemble’s performance becomes an integral part of the experience. It deepens the film’s resonance and creates a vivid dialogue between music, ideas, and cultural change.
