The Brigantes Orchestra Concerts

Experience The Brigantes Orchestra

The Brigantes Orchestra, founded in 2016 by conductor and composer James Morgan, is a UK-based ensemble rapidly gaining recognition for its dynamic performances and innovative approach to classical music. Rooted in a core of exceptional graduates from leading conservatoires including the Royal Academy of Music and Guildhall School of Music & Drama, the orchestra specializes in bringing fresh perspectives to both established repertoire and contemporary works.

Initially focused on film score recordings – notably contributing to projects like *The Northman* (2022) and *Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves* (2023) – The Brigantes quickly expanded into live performance. Their concerts feature a diverse programming style, often blending orchestral standards with collaborations across genres, including electronic music and folk traditions.

Key accomplishments include sold-out performances at venues like Kings Place and significant broadcast appearances on BBC Radio 3. The orchestra is committed to accessibility, offering outreach programs alongside its professional engagements. Known for their energetic interpretations and commitment to supporting emerging composers, The Brigantes Orchestra represents a vibrant force in the contemporary orchestral landscape. They operate as a self-managed collective, prioritizing artistic freedom and collaborative spirit.
