Description
Australian composer and instrumentalist Luke Howard’s new album ‘Interlinked’, a ballet scored by Luke with contemporary choreographer Juliano Nunes, commissioned by the Birmingham Royal Ballet for the Commonwealth games in 2022 and performed at the legendary Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival in 2024.
Known for pushing the boundaries of classical dance, Howard’s music for “Interlinked” explores Commonwealth values and challenges gender norms in ballet. Interlinked is a wholly new piece of choreographic work, with a newly commissioned orchestral score by Australian composer Luke Howard, and lighting by Dutch-based Northern Irish Designer Tom Visser. Choreographed by Juliano Nunes, the piece is inspired by themes of unity, exploring the influences that we have on each other’s lives and how the energy that we exude bounces from one person to the next, in a never ending circle.
