About Us:
We don’t break boundaries. We refuse to acknowledge them to begin with.
1781 is a collective of interdisciplinary musicians, frustrated with an industry that has lost its way. It aims to rediscover what makes music and performance great, and offer a new system to those disenfranchised by existing, traditional models. 1781 brings together like minded performers and organisations, and presents musical art in raw, passionate, and experimental forms.
Projects

Pierrot in the moonlight
A re-imagining of Arnold Schoenberg’s seminal work: a fully-staged walkthrough experience, with the audience following the narrative of the eponymous clown through their madness.
Music and…?
An ongoing series exploring the links between various disciplines and industries. Previous and upcoming topics include ‘Music and… Coffee; Body (Dance); Perfume; Mental Health; Wine; and Ethical Pornography’.

Why ‘1781’?
8th June, 1781, W.A. Mozart, then employed as the court organist of Count Hieronymous Colloredo, Archbishop of Salzburg, packed his bags and left for Vienna - saying auf wiedersehen to the controlling and limiting employ the traditional system had given him, and making out for a life as a freelance composer and performer.
The concept of Mozart saying ‘Leck mich am arsch’ to a system that undervalued his skills resonated with us when forming our beliefs and desires for the 1781 Collective. In homage to a person who had enough of the system, we named ourselves as such.
