This special event will be held outside the Royal Albert Hall on the 12th July at 10pm. In a unique coming together of music and projections, spectacular visuals will be projected onto the external fa莽ade of the Royal Albert Hall whilst new score by composer Anna Meredith will be transmitted from within the Royal Albert Hall.
