The Southbank Centre Is Celebrating the Legacy of Alexander McQueen With This Concert
Multi-arts orchestral music festival Multitudes is returning to the Southbank Centre this spring as part of the venue’s 75th anniversary year, and the centrepiece of the programme is Un-natural Harmony: The Sound of Alexander McQueen. Created by the London Contemporary Orchestra, Robert Ames, and John Gosling, McQueen’s longtime music director and collaborator, the concert is a live orchestral reimagining of the music that inspired McQueen’s most iconic fashion shows.Classical and contemporary pieces, including Purcell’s ‘Dido and Aeneas’, Handel’s ‘Sarabande’, Mozart’s ‘II. Adagio: Piano Concerto No.23′, The Rolling Stones’ ‘Paint It Black’ and Lady Gaga’s ‘Bad Romance’, will be blended together at the concert, showcasing McQueen’s bold use of music and the way he moved between beauty and brutality. The concert will also feature a new film by Douglas Hart and Eddie Whelan, and a live performance choreographed by Holly Blakey. Tickets go on sale on Fri 30th January and you can get them below.Dates | Weds 29th & Thurs 30th April 2026Address | Royal Festival Hall, Belvedere Rd, London SE1 8XXFor more information | southbankcentre.co.uk
