The Popchestra

Popchestra is an energetic 14-piece pop orchestra bringing iconic pop anthems to life in a way audiences don’t expect. Blending the depth and drama of classical with the infectious feel-good energy of pop music, Popchestra transforms well-loved hits into bold, cinematic performances that feel both nostalgic and fresh. At the heart of Popchestra is a simple belief: live music should feel exciting, accessible, and emotionally engaging. Pop music has the power to unite generations, and orchestral music has the ability to elevate those songs into something truly spectacular. By combining the two, Popchestra creates a live experience that resonates equally with music lovers, casual listeners, and first-time orchestral audiences alike. The orchestra is made up of 14 highly trained professional musicians, all with strong classical foundations and extensive live performance experience. Members of Popchestra have trained at leading music institutions and conservatoires, performed internationally, and worked across a wide range of musical settings. This depth of training ensures a consistently high standard of musicianship. Popchestra have performed at weddings, corporate events, the Fringe and in independent venues for ticketed events.
