Neoclassic

All exhibitions at Pitzhanger have the added benefit of being designed to interact with the neoclassic architecture of what was John Soane's country home.

But while others followed the cool, balanced neoclassic works of Stravinsky, it was works such as Les noces (The Wedding), a pounding, quasi-folkloric evocation of prehistoric wedding rites, that appealed to Orff.

Neoclassic artists used classical forms to express their ideas about courage, sacrifice, and love of country.
