About the event
Eighteen global musicians, one bold musical vision. Based in the UK, but resonating far beyond.
One World Orchestra transcends boundaries to create their unique, and utterly sublime sound. Ancient instruments entwine with contemporary beats, salsa montunos collide with Congolese harmonies, while authentic rhythms from around the world pulse through a journey of UK grime and Western classical motifs.
OWO’s compositions move effortlessly from moments of delicate reflection to electrifying fusion, bringing languages and traditions, and sounds together in one mesmerising performance. Each piece, rich with diverse influences, emerges as a seamless whole - complex yet coherent, multi-layered yet unified.
