Orchestra of the Swan

David Curtis and Orchestra of the Swan perform with passion, giving outstanding performances with innovative programming and accessible presentation. OOTS brings all this and more to Town Hall, Birmingham as Associate Artists, presenting great masterpieces and outstanding young soloists in their new Town Hall series of matinees concerts ‘Town Hall Classics’. Their virtuosic but informal music-making establishes an immediate rapport, and they will bring new audiences to the Hall through a range of programming and education initiatives. For the 2009/10 season acclaimed violinist Tasmin Little joins the orchestra for three concerts playing and directing as Associate Director.

Orchestra of the Swan is a champion of exciting new work and has commissioned John Woolrich, Tansy Davies, Joe Duddell, Errollyn Wallen, Paul Patterson, Joe Cutler, Oscar Bosch, Dobrinka Tabakova and many others. The spring Town Hall series included commissions from John Joubert, Alexander Goehr and Joanne Lee.

The Orchestra’s home is at the Civic Hall, Stratford-upon-Avon with residencies in Redditch and Bedworth, performing at major concert venues and festivals including Symphony Hall Birmingham, Warwick Arts Centre, St John’s Smith Square, St George’s Brandon Hill, Lichfield, Kings Lynn, Newbury, Two Moors, Corsham, Three Choirs and Deal Festivals.
