Live At The V&A (2021)

Live at the V&A is a large-scale music film set within London’s Victoria and Albert Museum during the global pandemic.

Developed in collaboration with conductor Oliver Zeffman and the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, the project extended the Fly On The Wall framework to a major institutional setting — transforming the V&A’s deserted Raphael Court into a performance space for a full orchestral production.

The project was structured as a sequence of distinct musical settings — concerto, chamber ensemble, solo performance and full orchestra — designed and delivered within a single day of filming. Working within the constraints of a live museum environment, the production captured complete performances in continuous takes, without the infrastructure of traditional film production.

The film brought together internationally recognised artists including Viktoria Mullova and was released to a global audience, reaching over one million viewers online and receiving coverage across broadcast and press including BBC Newsnight.

The project marked the first large-scale extension of the Fly On The Wall format into institutional film production.
