Composition by an all female ensemble - amateurs and professionals
Her Noise is the title of a multi-media, multi-national exhibition of new work by international artists using sound. The exhibition - which takes place across a number of European countries - is being launched tonight by a performance of the Emotional Orchestra in London.
The orchestra is led by the New York artist and composer Marina Rosenfeld. She together with thirty female collaborators - some of whom are non-musicians, others who are amateurs, with the odd professional player in there too - will present a musical piece for stringed instruments that will be performed for the first and last time ever live in the Tate Modern's Turbine Room.
The group has had two days of workshops to compose and learn to play their instruments. Anna McNamee went along to the very first meeting of the Emotional Orchestra.
Marina Rosenfeld - Emotional Orchestra - a live performance, is at The Turbine Hall, Tate Modern, London on Friday 23 September, 7.30-8.30pm Her Noise Tate Modern
