Hidden Orchestra
Event 31 • Saturday 13 August 2011, 9.30pm • Venue: Roland Stage, Christ College
Formerly known as the Joe Acheson Quartet, Hidden Orchestra combine two live drummers and deep basslines with strong jazz and classical influences, to make cinematic, emotive, percussive, next generation music using traditional instrumentation and organic samples. Hidden Orchestra’s debut album Night Walks showcases their energetic originality. The album was funded by the Scottish Arts Council, and features a selection of distinguished Scottish jazz/folk/classical guest musicians. Their beautifully crafted, explosive live show, where the core quartet is augmented with visuals, cello and brass, has cemented their reputation as one of the UK’s most unique upcoming outfits.
