What: Orchestra Of The Swan @ Stratford-upon-Avon Town Hall
When:
Our innovative new series of chamber concerts, the Sheep Street Sessions feature a maximum of five of the Swan’s principal players.
It takes its name from the street in which the Town Hall stands. The site of one of Stratford’s markets from the mid 13th century, Sheep Street is deeply embedded in the town’s mythology and culture. The exquisite Town Hall, with its beautiful acoustics and central location, is the ideal venue to experience performances of the highest quality in an intimate setting.
Celebrate the Orchestra with the Friends’ Soirée this year, combined with the launch of the new Sheep Street Sessions – a magical, blended musical journey. Bohemian Rhapsody is a tantalising exploration of the Czech spirit through its diverse musical heritage, ranging from the folk songs of Bohemia and Moravia to the works of Smetana, Dvořák, Janáček and Martinů.

Who: Orchestra Of The Swan
Classical Crossover
Orchestra of the Swan is an innovative British chamber orchestra which, under the artistic direction of David Le Page, is known for its unconventional programming, groundbreaking concert films and willingness to blur the lines between musical genres. Its critically acclaimed mixtape albums - Timelapse, Labyrinths and Echoes - have gained more than 15 million streams worldwide and include imaginative new arrangements of music by David Bowie, The Smiths, Brian Eno, The Velvet Underground, Radiohead, Joy Division, Frank Zappa and A Winged Victory for the Sullen. The orchestra regularly works with artists from the worlds of folk, rock, jazz, tango and klezmer recognising that the traditional barriers between musical styles are increasingly irrelevant. Their next album Earthcycle highlights the issue of climate change and features a new version of The Four Seasons by Jazz/Baroque composer David Gordon and traditional folk songs performed by Jackie Oates.
