Drum & bass imprint RAM Records, founded by drum & bass producer Andy C, presents a special celebration with OrchestRAM – an evening of orchestral drum & bass at the Barbican. Following the success of OrchestRAM at Milton Court in September 2022, the show has been updated for 2023 with orchestral renditions of tracks from the iconic label’s catalogue which will be performed by professional alumni from Guildhall School of Music and Drama joined by live vocalists on the Barbican stage – making this the first-ever full-length drum & bass production in the Barbican Hall.
The evening of celebration will take audiences on an epic orchestral journey into the genre, with the 37-piece Guildhall Session Orchestra performing many of RAM’s biggest hits. Classic RAM releases from the likes of Chase & Status, Wilkinson, Sub Focus, Origin Unknown, DJ Fresh, and RAM Trilogy will be performed among interpretations of more recent releases from Mandidextrous, Culture Shock, Mob Tactics, Andy C and Raiser by the orchestra, elevated by undaunted stage production to match the energy on stage.
