Southbank Centre Jubilee Events this June
The Southbank Centre has announced its programme to celebrate Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee this summer. Classical music, punk, dance, performance and parties make up just some of the Centre’s eclectic programme taking place across 1st – 5th June.
Nu Civilisation Orchestra performs a selection of Duke Ellington’s compositions in the Queen Elizabeth Hall on 3 June, whilst the Riverside Terrace accommodates Folk Dance Remixed’s Step Hop House, mixing traditional folk traditions with street and breakdance, all to the live soundtrack of fiddle and beatboxing.
The Centre also presents an exclusive live screening of Academy Award-winner Danny Boyle’s new series Pistol, which charts the rise of the Sex Pistols and the punk revolution in Britain, followed by a panel discussion with Boyle himself.
The programme takes place from 1st – 5th June at The Southbank Centre. More information here.
