Sharon Van Etten to play orchestral show in London

Sharon Van Etten has announced a special performance as part of Late Night Proms this summer.

The songwriter, and star of Netflix show The OA, will perform with the Heritage Orchestra and conductor Jules Buckley on August 8 at The Royal Albert Hall. The show will also feature Hercules & The Love Affair and Serpentwithfeet, with the New York-based line up put together to show the diversity of modern New York City.

“It is contemporary music from across New York as it’s happening at the moment,” Proms director David Pickard said of the line up. “It is a very vibrant scene in terms of what people are writing, and it is boundary-crossing as well – there is a lot of experimentation going on.”

Tickets will go on sale from May 12.
