Step into the vibrant realm of OWO Electric, where the fusion of acoustic traditions and electronic beats takes centre stage. Departing from their usual repertoire, members of the One World Orchestra invite you to embark on a unique journey through the realms of electronic dance music. This special event promises an electrifying night of performance, intervention, and improvisation, where traditional melodies meet contemporary rhythms.

At the heart of the OWO Electric experiment is Max Wheeler (Brownswood, First Word Records, Tru Thoughts) OWO's very own electronic producer, laying down grooves and beats spanning house, electro and jungle. Their expert craftsmanship sets the stage for a selection of OWO musicians to join them in a voyage across borders and genres.

The One World Orchestra stands as a testament to the power of cultural diversity and collaboration. Comprising 18 musicians hailing from various corners of the globe, this groundbreaking ensemble seamlessly blends traditional and modern sounds to create music that resonates with individuals and unites communities. With members representing cultural heritages from across the UK, USA, Georgia, Ukraine, Colombia, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Israel, Iran, India, Congo (DRC), Kenya, and Zimbabwe, the OWO is a melting pot of musical influences and traditions.

OWO Electric isn't just a concert—it's an immersive experience designed to connect people through the universal language of music. Through interventions and interactive moments, attendees are encouraged to engage with one another and celebrate diversity in all its forms.

Immerse yourself in the eclectic soundscape curated by the talented members of One World Orchestra, with DJ sets in between live performances, traversing genres and continents. We also invite you to become an integral part of this cultural happening, where audience participation transforms the performance into a collaborative masterpiece.

OWO Electric explores the boundaries and possibilities of music to connect us within our multi-cultural society, forging bonds that transcend geographic location and celebrate the rich tapestry of humanity.
