About the Artist

Cream Classical is not an artist in the traditional sense, but rather a spectacular concept that brings together the legendary Cream brand, renowned for its pioneering role in global club culture, with a full-scale orchestra. For the past ten years, Cream Classical has meticulously curated and performed a stunning repertoire of the biggest and most beloved dance music anthems. These aren't mere covers; they are intricate, symphonic reinterpretations that breathe new life into tracks that have defined generations of clubbers.

The Cream Classical orchestra is comprised of highly talented musicians who masterfully translate the driving beats and infectious melodies of house, trance, and other electronic genres into a rich, orchestral tapestry. Led by accomplished conductors and often featuring original vocalists and DJs from the tracks' original eras, these performances are a powerful fusion of electronic music heritage and classical artistry. The result is a truly unique and emotive experience, capable of evoking the same exhilaration as a packed nightclub, but with the added grandeur and depth that only a live orchestra can provide. Over the past decade, Cream Classical has graced some of the UK's most prestigious venues, cementing its reputation as a must-see live event for any serious music fan.
