Beyond Genre

Peter Wiegold’s Third Orchestra brings together musicians from across cultures and musical traditions to co-create new work through deep listening, collaboration, and guided improvisation.

“Disruptive and healing. The best gig I’ve ever been to”
Patrick Stanford, theatre director

“A real united-nations, and a new approach to music. I just love the way that there's so many people who all find their place with so much freedom to play. We all know that music is the food of love, so help spread the love, and support this appeal."

Benjamin Zephaniah
Poet, writer and performer

“Absolutely gripping, magical and inspiring… musicians crossing so many cultures… collaboration and co-creation to a whole other level.”


Manus Carey
Deputy Principal
Royal Northern College of Music

“The inspiration of the Third Orchestra is just what we need today… unity in diversity. A genuine example for the world.”


Marshall Marcus
Director, European Union Youth Orchestra
