³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

Celebrating the music of a modern New York, the Heritage Orchestra and conductor Jules Buckley present their take on the sound of NYC today.

‘New York: Sound of a City’ perfectly encapsulates the unexpected and unusual pairing of unique voices and undisputed talents coming together to reflect the City that Never Sleeps. Special guests – Hercules & Love Affair, Sharon Van Etten, serpentwithfeet and Nitty Scott – couldn’t be less like one another sonically, but they share much in common artistically. In a relatively short time, all four acts joining Jules Buckley and the Heritage Orchestra for this unique occasion have proven themselves to be boundary-pushers, mixing sounds and genres and finding new paths, even when the music they’re making might not lead them to success in conventional terms.

There will be no interval

Broadcast on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Four on Friday 10 August
