A fleet of ice cream vans call out to one another, and a beautifully nostalgic score floods Southbank Centre’s outdoor spaces.

You may remember hearing the siren song of the neighbourhood ice cream van as a child; this performance pop-up reimagines that ubiquitous sound. The vans, each with their own individual harmony, create a mesmerising symphony of different clustered sounds and a shared soundscape for unsuspecting audiences.

This performance includes a Q&A with composer Dan Jones about the piece and his work.
