An orchestra of musicians and vocalists reimagines classic R&B anthems from the 1990s and 2000s, with vocals from Alicia Keys, Usher, Brandy and more.
The R&B Orchestra play Asylum on Friday 6 November, bringing a full orchestral take on R&B from the 90s and 2000s. It's presented by Asylum at the University of Hull, and the set is built around reworked versions of songs by Alicia Keys, Usher, Brandy, Mary J. Blige, TLC, Ne-Yo and Destiny's Child.
Rather than a tribute band doing the hits as you remember them, the orchestra reimagines the tracks as live orchestral pieces. They draw on two different eras: the heartfelt ballads of 1990s R&B and the club classics of the 2000s and beyond. The show is performed by an ensemble of musicians and vocalists, so you'll hear the songs sung live alongside the orchestral arrangements.
