British Paraorchestra: The Nature of Why, Brighton Festival 2019 review - it's a happening!

★★★★ BRITISH PARAORCHESTRA, BRIGHTON FESTIVAL It's a happening!

Onstage melee of players and audience that is as much about human experience as music

The Nature of Why is not so much a concert as a multi-discipline happening. To assess it is to relate a human experience rather than just an aesthetic appreciation of the new orchestral work by Goldfrapp’s Will Gregory which is at its heart. On the surface, it’s an hour-long piece in nine short movements, interspersed with old BBC recordings of the Nobel Prize-winning American physicist Richard Feynman explaining how magnetism is unexplainable in layman’s terms.
