MUMBAI: The 2012 London Olympics will culminate with a ‘mash up’ of British music compositions by late legendary composer Edward Elgar and songstress Adele.

The closing ceremony on 12 August will feature compositions in a special score called ‘A Symphony of British Music’ weaving songs from across regions and eras into colourful and emotional story.

London Olympics artistic director Kim Gavin said, “We are taking a box of fabulously well-done tunes. The songs are the key. We are putting them together to write one piece of music that is fabulously balanced. Usually it is something classical but in this case it is an elegant mash-up of British music.”

According to media reports, Adele may also perform at the closing ceremony of the London Olympics.

The London Symphony Orchestra will be recording the core soundtrack for all four ceremonies to be held in the stadium.
