Come and hear us perform our own unique version of Stay on It - a joyous, punchy piece of music by the ‘brazen and brilliant’ Julius Eastman.

As an openly gay Black man working in the 1970s, composer Julius Eastman often created music that took on radical political viewpoints, shaped by his own experiences of oppression. His music sounds unlike anything else you will have heard. Stay on It is a semi-improvised piece, meaning that no performance is ever the same – so this will be your one and only chance to hear Multi-Story’s version, created by our amazing musicians.

You’ll dive straight into the piece with our musicians spread across the level of our beautiful car park space at Bold Tendencies, before we come together to hear the whole orchestra perform.

We are so grateful to our partner, Southwark Music, and the following funders for making this event possible:
Arts Council England
Cockayne - Grants for the Arts and The London Community Foundation
Garrick Trust
Fenton Arts Trust

And thanks to our heroes Matthew Barley and Fraser Trainer for inventing and developing our unique Living Programme Note model!
