About this concert
xploring transformation in music and words – from Bach to Britten and Keats to Kafka Britten’s 6 Metamorphoses after Ovid was written in 1951, midway through humanity’s most turbulent century and at the end of the Second World War when the will to transform at a political, societal and psychological level was being felt most urgently. This evocative work for solo oboe punctuates a programme of music and literature related to the theme of metamorphosis; ranging from the transcriptions of J.S. Bach via Debussy and Philip Glass, to the words of William Shakespeare, Lewis Carroll and Angela Carter.

Orchestra Of The Swan Biography

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.
