Join us for our 30th anniversary that is both a celebration and a snapshot: a portrait of who we are now, shaped by where we have come from.

Since our founding in 1996, the Swan has been driven by curiosity and a belief that music thrives when boundaries are fluid. This anniversary programme reflects that ethos: Bach and Vivaldi sit comfortably alongside Radiohead and Sandy Denny; Vaughan Williams and Grieg converse with Miles Davis, the Velvet Underground and Peter Gabriel. The thread that binds it all together is not genre, but atmosphere, storytelling and a shared emotional directness.

This is not a retrospective in the traditional sense, but a living, breathing statement of identity: an orchestra that continues to evolve, collaborate and re-imagine what a chamber orchestra can be in the 21st century. Above all, it is a thank-you – to our audiences, our musicians and our artistic partners – for thirty years of shared musical adventure.
