Ensemble Apex: Shostakovich Made Me Hardcore | Music: Lewis Mosley

Shostakovich Made Me Hardcore is an abstract examination of the social stigmas surrounding orchestral music:

“I think this video is a bold statement on the future of orchestral music. History has shown, young people have the power to create great change. Ensemble Apex is powered by remarkable young people.”
- Sam Weller, Artistic Director (Ensemble Apex)

-Music composed by Lewis Mosley

Founded in 2016, Ensemble Apex endeavours to bring young people into the fold of classical music, breaking down cost and cultural barriers to accessing high quality, edgy orchestral performances.

Very innovative Sam and Lewis! What an interpretation. I think that you are right that in the future there will be a lot of alternative versions of classical music. Sure there will always be the performances of the music as is was originally intended and that will always be valued but it is important to create and innovate and you’ve done it so superbly. Congratulations 🥳
