Here’s a snapshot from the premiere of The Virus Within: Hearing HIV which we performed at Guy’s Chapel on 15 February 2018, a project bringing together contemporary music and cutting edge scientific research.

In collaboration with virologist Chad Swanson, Benjamin Oliver has composed a new three-movement work for ensemble and electronics that musically explores HIV replication processes and how innovative ‘Shock and Kill’ treatments might provide a cure for HIV.

You can watch all three movements in full here. Or why not come and see us live at Turner Sims, University of Southampton in 2019? Exact dates and times to be finalised but check this site for the latest information.

We’re thrilled to have reached our Kickstarter target – huge thanks to everyone who has pledged and shared!  If you would still like to donate then please do!  Our campaign runs until October 25th, and all the money we raise over our target will go directly to composers via our Audience Commissioning Fund.
