Where: The Box, Tavistock Place, Plymouth PL4 8AX

In partnership with The National Gallery, we're proud to present an evening of music and dance with a performance of Jeremy Deller’s Acid Brass (1997) by the Camborne Town Brass Band, conducted by Simon Dobson, followed by an afterparty featuring DJs from across the country. Inspired by the themes of celebration, commemoration and demonstration, this will be a chance to come together and celebrate the importance of music as a space for transcendence.
Following the band's performance we'll be treated to sets by Amy Friers, Devon-based Dave Green, and Jon Dasilva who rose to prominence in the early 1990s during his residency at the Hacienda in Manchester as one of the first DJs to play acid house music to crowds in nightclubs across the country.
This event is part of The Triumph of Art, a nation-wide project by artist Jeremy Deller. It was commissioned by the National Gallery, London, as part of NG200, its Bicentenary celebrations. The Triumph of Art is being developed in partnership with Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in Dundee, Mostyn in Llandudno, The Box in Plymouth, and The Playhouse in Derry-Londonderry. Supported by Art Fund.
