music to soothe the savage beast

Heritage Orchestra

The Heritage Orchestra is a pioneering cross-genre 40 - 60 member ensemble that ignores classical elitism, and refuses to be a part of the new glossy classical-corporate movement; both of which are diminishing the long-term integrity of orchestral music in the UK. So whilst the British music scene struggles between purist and popular representations, The Heritage Orchestra leads a defiant new musical direction fuelled by daring reinterpretations, complex collaborations, fresh compositions, and the most exciting performances in town.
