The Cinematic Orchestra

British group The Cinematic Orchestra known for blending contemporary jazz with electronic music are coming to Vilnius. The only show in the Baltics!

“A brief escape from the studio where we are currently working on a new album,” The Cinematic Orchestra say of their upcoming European shows. The group recently welcomed several new members who will also be coming to Vilnius. On stage will be group founder Jason Swinscoe, keyboardist Al MacSween, drummer Ellis Dupuy and bassist Vini Cajado.

At their concerts, sound and visuals come together to create a deeply cinematic experience. “Tasteful electronica,” writes The Guardian. NME describes The Cinematic Orchestra as elegant, intelligent and deeply emotional, while Pitchfork simply calls them majestic.

For more than two decades, The Cinematic Orchestra have created a unique sound somewhere between jazz and electronic music. Led by Jason Swinscoe, the group brings together accomplished musicians who draw on jazz traditions and interpret them in their own way.

The Cinematic Orchestra have inspired many celebrated contemporary artists, including Kendrick Lamar, Kamasi Washington, Thundercat, Sons of Kemet, BADBADNOTGOOD, Floating Points and Ólafur Arnalds. The group helped lead many of them towards modern jazz and became a major source of inspiration.

The Cinematic Orchestra have performed at prestigious venues around the world, selling out London’s Royal Albert Hall, the Philharmonie de Paris, Rome’s Auditorium Parco della Musica and the Sydney Opera House.

Their compositions unfold slowly, layer by layer, allowing listeners to sink into a particular mood. Sound becomes the storyteller.

This will be a seated concert. Simply settle in and let The Cinematic Orchestra take you on a journey through space and time.
