This Friday night, BBC Radio Ulster premieres a live recording of Phil Kieran’s The Strand Cinema album A/V show along with The Ulster Orchestra, a breathtaking performance of electronic music with classical orchestration. Listen to Phil talk about how, over the last 3 years, he brought 11 visual artists together to create this very special audio-visual performance, and watch more videos about the project on our YouTube channel, including live tracks and behind-the-scenes interviews.
