The Blackheart Orchestra are multi-award winning, multi-instrumentalists

Chrissy Mostyn and Rick Plkington. They comprise a two person ‘orchestra’

Kate Bush, Portishead and Cocteau Twins to modern composers Steve Reich

and Philip Glass. Their last two albums both achieved Top 20 positions with

latest album Hotel Utopia reaching #13 in the Official UK Rock Chart and

winning Best British Album and Best Song in the USA Progressive Rock

Awards where singer Chrissy Mostyn was awarded Best Female Vocalist. The

Blackheart Orchestra currently sits on six Best Albums of 2022 lists in the UK.

The Blackheart Orchestra are currently one of the

UK’s leading progressive bands with our new album Hotel Utopia

recently winning Best British Album, Best Song and Best Female

13 in the Official Rock Chart and is currently sitting on six Best

Albums of 2022 lists. Please visit our site at

The Blackheart Orchestra are not an orchestra, we’re a duo.

The ‘orchestra’ concept is that we’re two multi-instrumentalists, playing

13 instruments between us including guitar, bass, omnichord, piano,

organ and our collection of vintage synths in what is quite a unique

show. We play within a circle of instruments which has been referred

to as our 'musical space station' and draw on our backgrounds in rock,

folk, electronica and classical music to create a sound frequently

compared to artists from Pink Floyd and Mike Oldfield to Kate Bush and

The Cocteau Twins as well as modern composers like Steve Reich and

Philip Glass.
