Nu Civilisation Orchestra: The Stuart Hall Project

A film and live music evening that pairs John Akomfrah's 2013 documentary on Stuart Hall with Miles Davis's music, performed by the Nu Civilisation Orchestra Ensemble at Union Chapel in London.

Tomorrow's Warriors presents John Akomfrah's 2013 documentary The Stuart Hall Project, a portrait of the thinker who co-founded New Left Review and became a leading figure in British Cultural Studies. The film mixes archive footage with Hall's first-person reflections, considering identity, race and belonging as the world shifts.

Miles Davis's music is performed live as the soundtrack by Peter Edwards and a five-piece Nu Civilisation Orchestra Ensemble, with Mark Kavuma on trumpet. The concert marks the centenary of Miles Davis's birth. The ensemble follows the changing musical eras of Davis's work, with each stage matching a chapter of Hall's journey. The performance is presented as an integral part of the experience rather than a backdrop, deepening the film's resonance.

The evening, presented by AGMP Concerts, takes place at Union Chapel, a religious building on Compton Terrace in London N1. It brings together film, live music and cultural history.
