TONY OXLEY: CELEBRATION ORCHESTRA
Cafè Oto, E8 3DL , [Venue Details]A two-night residency celebrating the legacy of master drummer, composer, educator, and painter, TONY OXLEY.
Tony’s metamorphic large group, CELEBRATION ORCHESTRA, first performed in 1984, and lasted, in various permutations, until 1998. Normally between fifteen and twenty members, the ensemble lent heavily on string players and multiple percussionists.
