Founded by Charles Hazlewood, Army of Generals was an electrifying ensemble of non-disabled orchestral musicians that built up an enthusiastic following. Famed for its dynamic energy-fuelled performances from a small ensemble to a large symphonic offering, Army of Generals performed with Charles Hazlewood for many years, including work for television, stage, and film. In 2019, Army of Generals joined Paraorchestra in a glorious union of disabled and non-disabled world-class musicians of every sort.
“Army of Generals is an electrifying ensemble that has built an enthusiastic following for its pioneering playing of both modern and period repertoires. Comprising some of the world’s leading players ... its magnificently virtuosic sound-world is a special mix of lithe athleticism and intense drama.”
Previous performances included Charles Hazlewood and Paraorchestra’s headline performance at Glastonbury Festival 2016 performing the Philip Glass Heroes Symphony, Glastonbury Festival 2017, premiering a new Paraorchestra piece, Play!, and working alongside contemporary music artists including The Unthanks, Paul Weller, Hannah Peel, and Father John Misty.
