Newbury Festival

Whether you are a professor of music or couldn’t tell a string quartet from a string vest, The Rainer Hersch Orkestra is a guaranteed laugh every four bars. From the William Tell Overture to Carmina Burana, nothing is safe from these madcap virtuosos. Here, at last, is a classical concert that “will have you rolling in the aisles and composers spinning in their graves” (BBC Radio 4).  “After seeing this show you’ll find yourself gleefully clapping in the wrong place, creating symphonies of coughs and providing mobile phone counterpoints to the Great Masterworks – the concert hall won’t be the same again” Tom Service, BBC Radio.  “An Anglo-Tuetonic blend of English self-deprecation and Germanic highbrow virtuosity” The Guardian.  “You’ll never see another show quite like this” Edinburgh Evening News
