Biography
The 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 11 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 latest 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.
