The Heritage Orchestra will be
smashing their way through genres with dark and atmospheric orchestrations
of music composed by cult DJ and producer Amon Tobin, under the guidance
of inspirational conductor and musical director Jules Buckley.

Fresh from performances at the
Big Chill with The Bays and Meltdown with Massive Attack, the London
based collective have catapulted into the field of contemporary-classical
crossover music weaving breakbeat, D&B and electronica into layers
of strings and percussion. With an impressive list of sessions, collaborations
and concerts to their name, the ensemble were signed to DJ Gilles Peterson
label Brownswood following spectacular performances at London club Cargo
and have worked with notable producers and musicians such as DJ Yoda,
UNKLE and Bonobo.

The former Birmingham Conservatoire student has featured as a guest
