Bhangra rock band Kissmet is joining forces with Warwickshire-based Orchestra of the Swan for what promises to be a 'breath-taking' fusion of music, dance, storytelling and spirituality.

The brainchild of Kissmet's Ron Singh and Orchestra of the Swan's Artistic Director, David Le Page, Bhangra Symphonica fuses the two musical genres in an outdoor concert to be staged at Ragley Hall on Wednesday 9 August. 

Kissmet have performed all over the world, sharing stages with Kaiser Chiefs, Duffy, Nitin Sawhney, and Asian Dub Foundation, amongst others. Founded by Ron and Buzz Singh, Kissmet’s unique sound reflects the brothers’ experience of growing up in multicultural Britain, listening to everything from classical Hindi and Punjabi music, to The Clash and Led Zeppelin.   

Orchestra of the Swan love crossing genres and mixing styles, from Bach to Bowie and Rameau to Radiohead. The Swan constantly strives to be accessible, inviting, surprising, and challenging, blurring the boundaries between genres; working and performing with exciting artists, and as Ron Singh says: ‘What’s most important is the incredible vibe and energy that can be generated by people of all faiths, backgrounds, colours, gender and culture coming together to create something powerfully positive, infectious and memorable.’  

Bhangra Symphonica takes place at Ragley Hall, Warwickshire, on Wednesday 9 August. Guests are encouraged to take along chairs and blankets. Streetfood and refreshments will be available to purchase.
