The Blackheart Orchestra
The Blackheart Orchestra is officially the smallest orchestra in the world. Two people playing 13 instruments between them, Chrissy Mostyn and Rick Pilkington perform in what has been described as a ‘musical space station’ of instruments including acoustic and electric guitar, bowed guitar, bass, percussion, mandola, piano, organ, omnichord and vintage synthesisers.
After over 1000 concerts and four albums they’ve played everywhere from Southampton to Sydney including London’s Palladium and Royal Albert Hall while piling up achievements including winning Best British Album, Best Song and Best Female Vocalist in the USA Progressive Rock Awards.
