London Sinfonietta in association with the Guardian
Rock Music. Rock Art opens with an evening of music, discussion and film curated by the London Sinfonietta and the Guardian. During the event panellists will discuss the role music can play in effecting social change and examples of this in Uganda, with particular reference to the London Sinfonietta’s visit to Lolui Island and the village of Katine in eastern Uganda where the Guardian is supporting a major rural development project.
The evening will include live music with performances from the Lead Musicians of Uganda Dance Academy and conclude with Zuleika Kingdon’s award winning documentary, Rock Music Rock Art, which followed the musicians on their trip to Lolui Island.
The panel will be chaired by Jon Snow (Channel 4 News), and will include composer Nigel Osborne (who has run several music projects in war torn countries including Bosnia and the middle east), charity worker Grace Mukasa of AMREF, sculptor Rungwe Kingdon and musicologist Peter Cooke. Admission includes a glass of wine during the interval.
