The Fantasy Orchestra at Sandy Hill Arts

The Fantasy Orchestra at Sandy Hill Arts

Free Summer Concert!

The Fantasy Orchestra is a community project led by Jesse D Vernon, based in Paris and also in Bristol. The Orchestra (motto: ‘World Peace One Note At A Time’) brings together up to 50+ musicians, professional and amateur, to create a kaleidoscopic symphonic brigade. Some 20+ are playing for us this time!

Their eclectic repertoire covers film soundtracks (Morricone, Barry, RD Burman), rock and pop favourites (Hendrix, Beatles, Bowie, Radiohead), and some more obscure treasures. Think psychedelic loveliness, rousing choral noise, and some choice costumes. We think the costumes should extend to the audience too 🙂

The Orchestra encourage the audience to join in – either sing along or bring an instrument and join in: email Jesse for music sheets (not guitars, sorry!) – jesse@fantasyorchestra.org

This event is free – but please register for a ticket, so we can keep an eye on numbers.

Food of course from Sprout&Bean and bar from 12 until around 9pm. This is an open air concert so please dress accordingly – and bring your own camping chairs or blankets to sit on. There will be no parking on site after 2pm – the closest car park is at the National Trust visitor centre – or you could use the regular bus service from Swanage or Poole.
