Hive Classics at St Giles

For one special night, Julia Mosley and Hannah Sophie bring their songs to St Giles’ Church, Newcastle-under-Lyme, where they will be transformed through brand new orchestral arrangements performed live by the City of Stoke-on-Trent Symphony Orchestra (CSSO).

This is Hive Classics: a collaboration between artists and musicians from different parts of the music world, taking familiar songs somewhere completely new.

Julia Mosley’s distinctive, atmospheric songwriting and powerful vocals meet the intimate, emotionally driven songs of Hannah Sophie, with both artists performing alongside the orchestra in arrangements created especially for this event.

Expect familiar songs, but not quite as you know them.

The evening will showcase the original artists alongside the scale, texture and drama of a live orchestra, creating something that sits somewhere between a gig, a concert and a musical experiment.

And there is no better setting for it than St Giles’ Church, with its atmosphere and acoustics adding another dimension to the performance.
