Hot on the heels of winning a Royal Philharmonic Society Award, the cast of The Endz and The Multi-Story Orchestra are delighted to be bringing the show to the Southbank Centre’s Queen Elizabeth Hall.
There are two performances taking place on Saturday 23rd September - 17:30 and 20:30. Tickets for both performances are available below.
Check out the brand-new music video for “Falling”, taken from The Endz and performed by our Multi-Story Orchestra Young Creatives.
The system rejected us when it should have protected us.
This is our story
Following the death of one of their friends, a group of incredible teenagers from Peckham decided they wanted to tell their own story exposing the reality of youth gang culture today through music.
Together with The Multi-Story Orchestra they created and performed The Endz, which tells the story of two friends torn apart by gang violence through rap, song, and spoken word.
This hugely powerful piece combines a classical orchestra with the passion, energy and honesty of its young performers. It was first performed at Bold Tendencies car park in Peckham in 2021, supported by poet Yomi Sode, singers Abimaro Gunnell and Fran Lobo, and composer Kate Whitley. It was performed again in 2022 to sold out audiences and rave reviews. You can read about it here in The Times.
We now want to take the piece to the next level and spread its message wider.
“We created this project because we wanted to let people know what our reality is as there is not enough awareness.
As young people we are told that we have the power to change things; but people are still not listening to us.
Nothing changes. This is our way of spreading the word and we hope people will listen.” - Nathaniel Casaclang
