Milton Court was demolished to enable the creation of a new state-of-the-art performance space for the Guildhall School of Music & Drama. The dismantling of the disused fire station was recorded with a static camera providing a visual symphony of the destruction as a new city tower rises in the background. At this viewing, newly composed works by Electronic Music students accompany the film, as well as a brand new commission by Emily Hall, Professor of Composition and recipient of the prestigious Royal Philharmonic Society Composition Award (2005).

A screening of the piece will be held in the Guildhall School Foye with a live performance of selected excerpts.

Ticket Cost: Free, no booking required.
