  • Orchestra of the Swan's New Season at Warwick Hall

    Published 15/10/22

    Join us on Thursday 10th November, 7:30pm at Warwick Hall for an unforgettable evening. 

    Violinist Priya Mitchell described by The Strad as “one of the foremost violinists of her generation”, and The Swan’s Principal Conductor Michael Collins, help to kick off The Swan’s new season at our Warwick residency, in a concert that sets out to explore what constitutes as truly American music in the 21st century.

    Culturally and politically America is a bewildering tangle of contradictions. It should come as no surprise, therefore, that its music reflects that confusion. What we perceive as the quintessentially ‘American’ sound was in fact inspired by the immigrants, refugees and slaves who disseminated their astonishingly rich musical heritage wherever they settled. As America continues to struggle with its pernicious legacy of slavery and genocide this concert explores what constitutes a truly American music in the 21st century.

    Published 03/10/22

    In June, this year Roger Federer released a video on social media inviting applicants between the ages of 12 and 16 to come to trials to be a ball kid for the Laver Cup. King’s High pupil, Ottelia decided to apply and was one of the fortunate few to be invited to a 90-minute trial at the Olympic Park in London. Over the course of one weekend numerous trials were run, with approximately 100 individuals at each trial being put through their paces, all under the watchful eye of the assessors.  From here Ottelia would go on to be one of only 12 girls and 24 ball kids to be selected for the Laver Cup. We sat down with Ottelia, who told us all about what it was like to trial, train and go on to share a court with some of the greatest names in tennis.
