Episode 5: The Hip Hop Orchestra

from The Curious Cousins

‘Orchestra’ and ‘Hip Hop’ don’t usually belong in the same sentence. But when Georgio Savvides, a classically trained musician and a self-confessed ‘Hip Hop Head’, founded The Hip Hop Orchestra and arrived on the scene just six years ago, he struck a chord with the music industry and global audiences alike. Managing Director, creator, composer, conductor and pianist, there is more to be heard than his genius compositions. Georgio talks to us about overcoming major dyspraxia, being voted as a Top 5 producer in the UK, performing at XOYO and the O2, working with the likes of Lethal Bizzle, Logic, Mic Righteous, BBC 1Xtra and Lady Leshurr, his experience delivering a TED Talk and their interesting ordeal with Simon Cowell and Britain’s Got Talent. His gift aside, Georgio’s remarkable ambition and work ethic is changing perceptions of classical music and forging the conversation about the importance of the Arts in modern education. You can find The Hip Hop Orchestra on instagram @thehiphoporchestra and also check out some of their amazing performances on YouTube. We hope you enjoy the episode.
