Roundhouse Three Sixty has announced that Corinne Bailey Rae is joining the line up for the inaugural festival taking place at the Roundhouse this April.
Corinne Bailey Rae presents Black Rainbows with Guildhall Session Orchestra will take place on the 27th April. This exclusive show as part of the festival will see the award-winning singer-songwriter deliver her Mercury Prize-nominated album Black Rainbows in a completely unique format, interpreted by the renowned Guildhall Session Orchestra.
The Guildhall Session Orchestra was formed in 2019 and has collaborated with celebrated artists and pushing creative boundaries. This one-off event will platform young musicians in line with the ethos of Roundhouse Three Sixty festival with current Guildhall School students working on the show’s orchestral arrangements.
Corinne Bailey Rae broke through to the mainstream with the renowned 2006 single “Put Your Records On”, before quickly becoming the fourth female British artist to have her debut album enter the charts at number one. During her career, she has won two GRAMMY Awards, a MOBO Award, and been nominated for the Mercury Prize, a BRIT Award and an Ivor Novello.
Her latest album Black Rainbows was inspired by a visit to the Stony Island Arts Bank in Chicago, a one-of-a-kind “cathedral of Black art” that champions innovation in contemporary art, Black Rainbows embraces a more experimental sound.
