William Gray Beyer

William Gray is an ambitious Argentinian project that by this moment counts with 10 stable members. The project is born from the fusion of the soloist project "Living Fossils", recorded by independent musicians from the Academic Orchestra of Teatro Colón, the choir of the Engineering Faculty Choir (UBA) and the Camera 31, Pez, Rockafonica, The Sheppers and the Typical Orchestra El Astillero (Tango). William Gray blends Prog Rock, Classical passages, Tango and certain elements of Argentinean folklore. On stage they act on the format of Rock Opera, enhanced by an audiovisual presentation in which the images dispute the leading role with the actors and telling fantastic stories (Somehow as The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, the few times that worked). They are influenced by Astor Piazzolla, Alberto Ginastera, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Queen, etc, and to be honest, their music is mind-blowing.

The Royal Scottish National Orchestra teams up with its Assistant Conductor Kellen Gray to record works by three of the twentieth century’s greatest African American voices, which is released to coincide with Black History Month.
