'Opening Event' Alek O. - 'The Thing'

On the 12 October 2010, for the opening of Alek O.'s exhibition at Gallery Vela, Matteo Rubbi presented 'Music', 2010.
A series of radio distributed the length of Langham Street each tuned into Radio 3's coverage of Mozart's 'Pergolesi'.

The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment celebrates the 300th anniversary of the birth of Pergolesi. Best known for his impassioned Stabat Mater, in this concert Pergolesi is honoured with performances of two of his settings of the hymn to the Virgin Mary, Salve Regina, which showcase his moving, eloquent and hauntingly beautiful writing.
