St George’s Hall
Bassline Symphony
The sound of our city as you’d never heard it before.
4x4 legends Jamie Duggan, DJ Q and TS7 joined arranger Katie Chatburn and the Orchestra of Opera North to celebrate the sound of Bradford in this one-night-only spectacular, curated by Tanya Vital.
Bassline is among the most thrilling musical subcultures of the 21st century. Bradford is a hotbed of this electrifying music, but it’s never sounded quite like this – with the trademark crackling rhythms and pulsing low end supercharged by Opera North’s magnificent orchestra – under the baton of Garry Walker, Opera North’s Music Director.
Alongside new symphonic versions of classic cuts from our trio of headliners, a galaxy of guest vocalists and DJs brought tunes both new and old to a special showcase set – all presented within the stunning Victorian splendour of St George’s Hall. We’re all about the bassline.
