The Facts
Lawrence Power, Resident Artist at Southbank Centre, will present 'Lock-in' at the Purcell Room, a hybrid performance in which live music meets pre-recorded footage from his Lockdown Commission series. Power plays viola and violin with soprano and composer Héloïse Werner and lutenist Sergio Bucheli, with Jessie Rodger as creative director; the three collaborated through the production company Âme. The programme includes works by Buxtehude, Matteis, Fazil Say, Machaut, Werner, Garth Knox, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Paganini and Marais, mixing Baroque pieces with solo and contemporary compositions.
The Signal
For curators and collectors, the event highlights how institutions are treating live-and-recorded hybrid formats as an enduring part of concert programming rather than a pandemic-era stopgap. Power's reputation as a champion of new music — paired with the Southbank Centre's Resident Artist platform — gives visibility to contemporary viola repertoire in an intimate venue, reinforcing the venue's commitment to boundary-pushing performance.
