Classically Kate Bush

A classical concert that reworks the songs of Kate Bush, the English singer-songwriter, staged at the Orchard Theatre in Dartford. The music is Bush's own repertoire, presented in a classical idiom.

Kate Bush is an English singer-songwriter whose debut album, The Kick Inside, was released in 1978. Its single "Wuthering Heights" became her first UK number one. Later albums such as The Dreaming (1982) and Hounds of Love (1985) followed, and her songs are often noted for their piano-led melodies, wide vocal range and literary themes.

This programme takes Bush's songs into the classical concert hall. It is an arrangement of her music, not a performance by Kate Bush herself, so the evening centres on how her melodies and harmonies translate to classical performers and instruments.

The concert takes place at the Orchard Theatre, which hosts concerts and shows in Dartford. It will appeal to listeners who know Kate Bush's recordings and want to hear them reimagined in a classical setting.
