**Orchestra of the Swan** is a vibrant British chamber orchestra based in Stratford-upon-Avon, famously known for blending classical traditions with fresh, imaginative twists. Founded in 1995, the ensemble has built a reputation for its eclectic programming, seamlessly weaving core classical works (like Beethoven’s *Triple Concerto*) with innovative arrangements of modern tunes, such as their lush orchestral takes on Peter Gabriel’s “Solsbury Hill” or Dick Dale’s “Miserlou.” Under the creative direction of violinist and arranger David Le Page, they often collaborate with cross-genre artists and explore themes tied to literature and nature, as seen in their *Echoes of Nature* series recorded live at Shakespeare’s historic Holy Trinity Church. Whether reimagining film scores (*American Beauty*) or breathing life into Shakespeare-inspired compositions, they champion a playful, accessible approach to orchestral music that feels both timeless and refreshingly alive.
