The Ambitious Orchestra (TAO) is the first and perhaps the only symphonic group in the world devoted exclusively to ‘bringing the virtuosity back to rock and roll’. Churning out original tunes covering the usual (and not-so-usual) hot topics of the genre, the 20-piece classically-trained ensemble – which includes string, wind, horn, and percussion sections – draws a mix of teen groupies, 20-something hipsters and their concerto-loving parents.”
