Singer and songwriter Amy Winehouse shot to fame thanks to her expressive vocals; poignant, artistic lyrics and her eclectic mix of musical genres including soul, jazz and rhythm and blues. She died in 2011, at just 27 years old.

The night will also feature special guest singers alongside the orchestra, performing the late singer's greatest hits.

Camp and Furnace director Paul Speed said: "This is cabaret at the very highest level.

"The Untold Orchestra aims to break barriers, introducing people to a new world of music they haven’t experienced before and as part of that work they donate tickets to people who may not have necessarily been able to afford to see their show.

"This really will be an incredible evening celebrating one of the most iconic and legendary artists of our time, showcasing well-known songs in a way never heard before."

The Untold Orchestra aims to make the orchestral world more accessible, and leave a lasting impact in communities where they perform.

Amy Winehouse: An Orchestral Rendition takes place at 8pm on Saturday, January 29, and will be a four hour spectacle of entertainment.

Previous events featuring The Untold Orchestra include renditions of hits from The Beatles, Motown, Disney and Stevie Wonder.
