Commissioned by Orchestras Live in partnership with Inspire Youth Arts and Inspire Music, More Up was written for the Able Orchestra, an inclusive ensemble comprising young musicians, some of whom are profoundly disabled, and adult musicians and digital artists from different genres including players from the Hallé and BBC Philharmonic. In the piece, Oliver Vibrans brings together and gives voice to multiple approaches to creating music, including using technology to empower a wider range of people to shape and perform music, in a performance that transcends its individual components and expands our understanding of what music-making can and should be.

The premiere performance, on 29 January 2020 at the BBC Philharmonic Studio, Salford, transported the capacity audience of 250 people into an immersive blend of digital and acoustic orchestral sound, incorporating live digital imagery, engaging the audience and performers in a vision of the orchestra of the future.
