Renegade Orchestra: 2015

Commissioned by Brighton Festival we are assembling a creative team and new ensemble of classically trained artists from across the post Soviet States to create a new theatrical piece of music; part composed, part devised and part improvised.

This new piece of music will draw on the current musical genres in which these musicians now work: folk, jazz, electronica, punk rock and contemporary classical music.

To date, Josephine has spent time in Moscow, St Petersburg, Kiev, Tiblisi, Tashkent, Baku, Almaty, Paris and London meeting artists, hearing their stories and listening to their music, and gradually building the ensemble.
