Eighteen global musicians from sixteen countries come together with one bold musical vision

Founded in 2023, One World Orchestra brings together musicians to create an exhilarating fusion where ancient instruments meet contemporary beats, salsa montunos collide with English folk and Arabic maqams, and authentic rhythms from around the world pulse through UK Grime and African harmonies.

The group exists as a proud declaration that difference isn't just to be tolerated, but is a vital force that can strengthen and heal fractured communities. Their compositions and covers move between moments of delicate reflection to electrifying fusion, bringing languages, traditions and sounds together from diverse cultures.

At a One World Orchestra concert everyone’s a member of the band, so come prepared to sing, dance and drum to create a unique night to remember.

 

OWO is extraordinary - a rare gem where the quality of their music matches the depth of their integrity
