OrchestRAM

An Orchestral Journey Into Drum & Bass

OrchestRAM

Drum & bass imprint RAM Records presents a special, celebratory orchestral rendition of their catalogue, performed by over 40 musicians and professional alumni from Guildhall School of Music & Drama.

The evening of celebration will take audiences on an epic orchestral journey into the genre, with the Guildhall Session Orchestra joined by a DJ, percussion and singers, performing many of RAM’s biggest hits. Classic RAM releases from the likes of Chase & Status, Wilkinson, Sub Focus, Origin Unknown, DJ Fresh, and RAM Trilogy will be performed among interpretations of more recent releases from Mandidextrous, Culture Shock, Mob Tactics, Andy C and Raiser by the orchestra, elevated by undaunted stage production to match the energy on stage.

Start time: 8pm

Approximate running time: 110 mins, plus 20 min interval.

Please note all timings are approximate and subject to change.


This performance will contain flashing lights and lasers.

Presented by the Barbican in association with Weird Science and Guildhall School of Music & Drama.
