Orchestra

Brighton and Hove

The Popchestra transforms the biggest pop and pop-punk anthems of the '90s/'00s into a spectacular live orchestral show. Think Britney, Backstreet Boys, Katy Perry and Green Day reinvented with soaring strings, explosive brass and driving rhythm section. With lyrics on screen, the crowd becomes the lead singer. A 14-piece band of pro musicians led by our MD, plus smaller configurations available. Perfect for weddings, corporate events and festivals - nostalgic, joyful, and impossible to resist.

The Popchestra's Reviews

5 out of 5

Wasn’t sure that a purely instrumentally delivered rendition of pop hits would be my bag. But OMG this was a brilliantly conceived and executed, wonderfully engaging and an unforgettably amazing experience. The atmosphere in the venue was the most memorable and joyful I have ever been part of. Extraordinary!!

5 out of 5

A fantastically fun and energetic show, perfect for all ages, everyone in the audience knew all the songs and they really got the audience going to the point everyone was up on their feet, singing and dancing away. The music was really well put together, the orchestra were fantastic. All round a really great show and I can't wait for the next one!

Customer questions

Do you have different line-up options?

Yes, at our max we are a 14-piece orchestra, but we offer smaller line ups if there are space or budgetary constraints. We also offer a string quartet, and a saxophone & keys duo, which are particularly popular with weddings.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We always try to be flexible so just let us know as soon as you can.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes, we will take care of the music the whole time.

How much time do you need to set up?

We usually set up a couple of hours before performance time.

Can you roam around while you perform?

Some of us can, but some of us are more constrained by their instruments!

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Our set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, we're definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

Our PA and lighting system is included in your quote.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If a song isn't included in our song list there may still be a chance we already know it. If there is a special song you'd like us to learn we are happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £50 for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc.
