The Cinematic Orchestra play Union Chapel in Islington, a seated night in a working church and the second of their two London dates.
The Cinematic Orchestra, the Ninja Tune group whose “To Build a Home” has gone platinum in Britain, play Union Chapel in Islington on Sunday 2 May 2027.
The band grew out of Jason Swinscoe’s work in 1999. Their records join live jazz improvisation with electronica, and a turntablist plays alongside piano, saxophone, guitar, double bass and drums.
Their four studio albums run from Motion in 1999 to To Believe in 2019. In between came Every Day, Ma Fleur and two soundtracks, including the Disneynature film The Crimson Wing.
Ma Fleur, released in 2007, carries “To Build a Home”, with vocals by Patrick Watson. Film and television have used the song many times since, and it has gone four times platinum in Canada.
Union Chapel is a working church in Compton Terrace, and the band play to a seated room in the main chapel.
The night follows their show at the EartH Theatre in Dalston the evening before.
