ABOUT
The Grand Union Orchestra has been the acknowledged pioneer and leading exponent of cross-cultural music-making in the UK for over 30 years and continues to blaze a trail unrivaled by any other organization.
We achieve this by:
Drawing together musicians and singers whose backgrounds embrace the enormous range of cultures flourishing in Britain today.
Creating, performing, and touring new musical-dramatic work which draws on and expresses the experience of our performers.
Running a range of cross-cultural participatory and education projects which reflect and complement our artistic practice and ethos.
Collaborating with a range of other organizations to explore ways of working across social, economic, and cultural barriers throughout the arts.
Offering employment and professional development opportunities to aspiring artists from outside mainstream European cultures.
Playing a vital and unique role in the development of culturally diverse music-making through inspiring and engaging audiences and participants alike.
"These guys know that what brings people together is something shared. It can be music. It may be through struggle. One thing's sure: the Grand Union Orchestra's music makes you feel alive, makes you think, and makes you long for a better world."
