A stunning cast of vocalists, musicians and dancers bring music from Scott Walker's seminal albums The Drift and Tilt to life in an extraordinary world-premiere production; Drifting and Tilting - The Songs of Scott Walker.

This thrilling song-cycle will be set and designed for the Barbican Theatre stage, with music performed by a 42 piece string orchestra playing alongside Walker's band.

Once his songs are recorded, Walker famously never listens to them again, preferring to leave the moment of creation untouched and never re-visited...

Don't miss this unique opportunity to experience the theatrical intensity of Walker's music in what promises to be one of the major musical events of 2008.
