Burning Swan

Burning Swan is the composition department's annual collaboration with the Orchestra of The Swan's David Le Page (pictured) and David Gordon exploring innovative approaches to cross-genre music making.

Across four days, students and staff have collaborated to create an exciting, one-of-a-kind performance that fuses classical music with folk traditions, jazz, experimental electronics, pop music, and more.

Come along to experience an electric and unpredictable journey across a rich landscape of intertwining musical cultures.
