London Orion Orchestra

British Symphonic Orchestra

The London Orion Orchestra is a symphonic ensemble known for its collaborations with various artists and for performing orchestral versions of popular rock music. While not as widely recognized as some of the major symphony orchestras, the London Orion Orchestra has carved out a niche by bringing classical interpretations to contemporary music. One of their notable projects includes the album "Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here Symphonic," which was released in 2016. This album is a symphonic reimagining of Pink Floyd's iconic 1975 album "Wish You Were Here," and it features contributions from musicians who have been associated with Pink Floyd, such as keyboardist Rick Wright and guitarist Dave Gilmour. The project showcases the orchestra's ability to bridge the gap between rock and classical music, appealing to fans of both genres.
