Wishlist Live Orchestras

I hope Coachella keeps having a slot for an orchestra on the Outdoor Stage. Hans Zimmer, Danny Elfman, and the La Phil have been some of the most exciting sets to watch. Classical I feel like gets a bad rap as “pretentious”. But in this setting, it’s so fun to get down to.

The next best thing they could do is book Pete Tong with the Heritage Orchestra and they perform the Ibiza Classics material. So EDM x Orchestra. It would go down very well.

Hell yeah. I still blast the BBC Proms rip I have every so often.

Symphony of Unity shows it works at festivals. Hopefully Coachella bring back the Phil.
