Part cabaret, part concert club

The Arensky Chamber Orchestra, Will Kunhardt

The Arensky Chamber Orchestra (ACO) Spring season at the Hospital Club opens on Thursday 28 April 2016. Under artistic director Will Kunhardt the chamber orchestra returns to the Hospital Club for a pair of concerts which are intended to be more immersive theatrical event than concert.  Part cabaret club, part classical concert you can drink cocktails and eat themed food, sit on sofas and listen to the programme.

The music certainly doesn't pull any punches, 28 April will see chamber arrangements of Bartok's The Miraculous Mandarin and Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances, whilst on 2 June we will be plunged into the world of Wagner's Ring Cycle with the Siegfried Idyll and Gotterdammerung suite. And each evening promises more casual pre- and post-concert music too.
