Kate Simko & LEO to play at the Royal Albert Hall
Chicago producer/composer Kate Simko and her seven-piece ensemble London Electronic Orchestra will play at The Royal Albert Hall on 12th October.
Orchestrating instruments into her electronic soundscapes, Simko draws from a diverse background as a pianist, composer, and revered producer and DJ. The performance will feature Brighton-based guest vocalist Abi Flynn of the Tru Thoughts label and bespoke styling by Chinese fashion designer Rui Xu.
Kate Simko & LEO’s distinctive sound melds the beauty and textures of classical music’s most ornate instruments inside the backdrop of organic, classic electronic productions, bringing a new perspective and fresh sounds to both genres. The current core group is an all-female ensemble of Kate on keys and electronics alongside harp, two violins, two cellos, and upright bass. The set will feature songs off their acclaimed self-titled album Kate Simko & London Electronic Orchestra, which includes collaborations with Jamie Jones and Katy B, a classical rework of The xx, and Kate’s remix of Franz Schubert ‘Ständchen D957’, which was recently co-released on Decca Classics.
