Explore the United States inner landscape through an iconic soundtrack of 20th century repertoire. From the Shaker naivety of Copland’s Appalachian Spring via Thomas Newman’s delicate piano-led score, American Beauty, to the metropolitan bustle of Gershwin’s jazzy cityscapes – the journey through the American landscape starts here with Viv McLean and Warwick's Orchestra of the Swan. Students of Warwick Schools Foundation join us alongside the professional musicians for Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue (arranged by Farrington).
Orchestra Of The Swan
Orchestra of the Swan, under the Artistic Direction of David Le Page, strives to captivate audiences through a blend of experimentation with both classical and non-classical music, embracing our role as storytellers. Our commitment to being distinctive drives us to push creative boundaries, offering performances that are both innovative and unique. We work with outstanding collaborators and international soloists, focussing on melding our unique orchestral sound with folk, jazz and world music, making ‘orchestral’ music more accessible to a wider audience whilst celebrating the art of storytelling with fabulous world-class narrators. We are fighting hard to mitigate the appalling state of music education in our regional state schools, have set up a Swan Youth Orchestra, delivered an extensive programme of over 300 annual workshops within the regional community, released 32 albums, been in the Top 40 Classical Charts for our last 5 cross-genre albums, were nominated for a Grammy award in 2022, and enjoy a 14 million global audio streaming audience.…
