As part of its 60th anniversary celebrations, the Isle of Man Arts Council is delighted to announce that it will be bringing The Untold Orchestra and their acclaimed Icons concert series to the Island in May.

Known for their dynamic performances and innovative arrangements, the Manchester-based ensemble will be playing three unforgettable concerts, each dedicated to a different musical icon in three local venues.

The series kicks off on Thursday 8th May, at the Erin Arts Centre, Port Erin, with a heartfelt tribute to the late, great Amy Winehouse. Fans can expect soulful renditions of her most beloved songs, including Back to Black, Valerie, and Rehab, performed with the Orchestra’s signature energy and passion. This event is for over 16s only.

On Friday 9th May, there is an evening celebrating the magic of Disney. The Untold Orchestra will fill the Peel Centenary Centre with some of the most cherished songs from classic and modern Disney films. Audiences of all ages can look forward to an enchanting evening featuring iconic melodies from The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and many more.

Staying in the West the series concludes in spectacular fashion on Saturday 10th May, at Cathedral Isle of Man. For this special occasion, the Isle of Man Arts Council has commissioned an orchestrated celebration of the legendary Bee Gees. The group’s Manx roots will make this a particularly memorable event. Featuring timeless hits such as Stayin’ Alive, How Deep Is Your Love, and Night Fever, this concert promises an evening of disco fever and nostalgia, honouring the incredible legacy of the Gibb brothers.

Speaking about the upcoming concerts, Mrs Sarah Maltby MHK, Chair of the Isle of Man Arts Council, said: 

“We are delighted to be bringing The Untold Orchestra to the Isle of Man for what promises to be an incredible series of performances. The Icons series perfectly captures the power of music to bring people together, and we are thrilled to support events that celebrate both international and local musical heritage. This is a wonderful opportunity for audiences to experience these iconic songs in a fresh and exciting way.”
