You get OCEAN, the exotic new musical brew from the pen of genre-bending composer/bandleader Jennifer Cutting. In this eight-piece acoustic-electric big band, Cutting directs an all-star ensemble of the Washington, D.C.-area’s favorite Celtic musicians. Alternately ethereal and house-rocking, an Ocean Orchestra concert features Cutting’s newest electric folk arrangements of traditional tunes and her award-winning originals, as well as reprising a few of the best- loved pieces she wrote for her critically acclaimed British folk-rock band, The New St.
