About BE
BE play live at Coventry Cathedral.
Artist Wolfgang Buttress brings his music ensemble BE
to Coventry Cathedral to perform a unique soundscape.
Joined by a local inclusive choir, BE will perform their
critically acclaimed album One with a live-streamed chorus
of 50,000 bees from hives within the Cathedral grounds.
The evening promises a constantly changing and evolving
multi-sensory symphony - a dialogue between bee and
human, all within the spectacular architecture of Coventry
Cathedral.
BE is the collective name of an ensemble of musicians who
recorded the soundscape for Wolfgang Buttress’s multiaward
winning sculpture The Hive, currently sited in Royal
Botanic Gardens at Kew. The Hive seeks to highlight the
importance of the honey bee in our food chain and their
plight as a species. BE have gone on to create sell-out
performances including appearances at Glastonbury, Blue
Dot, Caught by the River, End of the Road festivals, St
Mary’s church in Nottingham, Kew and Sonos Studios.
