Their ingenious programming and keen sense of collaboration across art forms create some truly spectacular and incredibly fresh performances. Led by renowned conductor Charles Hazelwood, the orchestra are teaming up with lead singer of Suede, Brett Anderson to bring their show of reimagined songs about death to Aviva Studios.
