About

Founded in 2011, Constella Music is the creative powerhouse behind the award-winning composer and conductor Leo Geyer. Constella publishes and performs Geyer’s works, which span opera, dance, film, and concert music, and serves as a production company for his growing portfolio in broadcast presenting. 

​

Collaboration lies at the heart of our organisation, bringing together pioneering professional musicians and dancers, as well as partnerships with visual artists, poets, historians, garden designers, architects, scientists, healthcare workers, and more. The driving force behind Constella Music is harnessing the expressive power of music for social good.

​

Constella is currently undertaking a major project to restore and perform long-forgotten music written in Auschwitz. We have given performances in London, Paris, and Amsterdam, and released a recording on YouTube, which garnered worldwide news coverage. We are now fundraising for an opera-ballet production to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. 

​

Much of Geyer’s catalogue has been published by Constella and is available on Nkoda. This has led to performances of our publications by Opera Holland Park, London Sinfonietta, the Elmore Quartet, Theater Aachen, and others. This year, Constella also premiered new music by Leo Geyer at both the Science Museum, the Courtauld Gallery. Constella and is making a recording of Geyer’s restoration of the live cinema orchestra score for the Ukrainian silent film Man with a Movie Camera, following the recent premiere with the Luxembourg Kammerata. 

 

At Constella, we believe everyone has the right to enjoy and participate in music. Our award-winning virtual performance program, Connecting Stars, has provided over 2,000 bespoke music and dance performances for the UK’s most vulnerable individuals. As part of this initiative, we are delivering a program for students and emerging artists to increase access for diverse young people entering the performing arts. â€‹This year also marks the founding of the Constella Philharmonic, a new orchestra that offers non-professional musicians opportunities to participate in professional-level performances.
