Paraorchestra and Charles Hazlewood invite you to experience the orchestra from the inside out. Part-installation, part-concert, The Anatomy of the Orchestra is a unique opportunity to climb inside and get up close to the orchestra as they perform Steve Reich’s iconic piece The Four Sections. In this show, 51 musicians are spread out across the Wu Tsai Theatre, not just on stage, but also throughout the auditorium. You are invited to move amongst each of the four sections of the orchestra and explore its inner workings as they perform this rare work for symphony in perfect collective sound.

Follow your senses, choose your own adventure, and experience the virtuoso playing of Paraorchestra in breathtaking detail.

About Paraorchestra
Paraorchestra bring extraordinary live orchestral music experiences that connect with people in venues and public spaces around the world.

Under the artistic direction of award-winning conductor Charles Hazlewood, the pioneering ensemble aims to disrupt and reinvent the orchestra. Bringing together professional disabled and non-disabled musicians, Paraorchestra create powerful music experiences that span genres and artforms. As a result, they are radically changing outdated ideas about both orchestral music, and of disability.

The Anatomy of the Orchestra: The Four Sections at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts marks their US debut.
