Bespoke Music for Corporate Events
We know how meticulously crafted corporate events are, and the entertainment should be no different. Our live music for corporate events is built around your audience, timings and run of show, integrating seamlessly with the wider production.
Many clients choose a complete musical journey, beginning with a Chill Out Set ensemble as guests arrive, before our Little Big Band or Bangers & Anthems takes centre stage, with our DJ Sets & DJ Live closing the night. Every element can be scaled and tailored to your brief, with one dedicated team delivering the music from start to finish.

Music for Every Brief
No two corporate events are the same, and neither is the music. From award ceremonies and gala dinners to brand activations, product launches and private corporate celebrations, our live music for corporate events is designed to support your vision.
Whether you need subtle background entertainment during a drinks reception or awards dinner, a Classical String Quartet or Jazz Band sits beautifully under conversation without competing with it. For the moment the room turns to the stage, our Show Band delivers a full headline set or we build something entirely bespoke to your brief.

Composed for Your Brand
For clients looking for something truly original, we offer a bespoke composition and orchestration service. Led by our Musical Director and expert team of composers and arrangers, every project is created from the ground up, from original scores and custom orchestrations to repertoire, line-up and styling, all tailored to your brand, campaign or event.
Our work includes bespoke orchestrations for the World Rugby Awards, a reimagining of the iconic Game of Thrones score for Metro, and original compositions for global brands including BMW and Cartier, from developing an orchestral programme for the Dior flagship opening in Covent Garden to composing a cinematic soundtrack timed precisely to BMW's design reveal in Munich.
Every piece is crafted exclusively for the occasion.
Made to Work with Your Production
Most of our corporate clients already have an established AV or production team, and Urban Soul Orchestra is built to integrate seamlessly. Our dedicated Technical Manager works directly with your production team, providing comprehensive technical specifications and ensuring every detail is coordinated well in advance of the event.
If production is still required, we can also provide sound, staging and lighting through our trusted production partners, giving you a single point of contact from inception through to delivery.

We were so grateful for how accommodating you were on the night,
especially as we ended up flying through the awards ceremony much faster than expected.
Your flexibility was hugely appreciated. And I have never seen the dance floor so packed! Our guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive! Please extend my thanks to your musicians, they’re fab!
Corporate Event Entertainment | FAQ
What Size Ensembles Do You Offer?
Our key to success is ensuring every ensemble is perfectly tailored to the audience size and our client’s vision. That’s why all of our line-ups are fully scalable, from soloists, duos and quartets to 6, 8 and 10-piece bands, right through to our 50-piece orchestra.
Do You Only Provide Orchestral Ensembles?
While orchestral music is at the heart of USO, our ensembles span a huge range of genres and line-ups. From full showbands with drums, keys, guitar and vocals to jazz bands, solo DJs and Ibiza-inspired DJ Live sets, we can build the perfect line-up around your event. You can browse every format we offer, from soloists and duos through to a 50-piece orchestra, across our full range of ensembles.
Can You Work Under an NDA?
We regularly work on strictly confidential events, launches and projects where discretion is essential. We are happy to work under an NDA and can liaise directly with your agency, production team or internal stakeholders throughout the planning process, ensuring confidentiality at every stage.
Can You Work With Our Existing Production or AV Team?
Yes. Our Production Manager will work directly with your production team, providing full technical specifications and ensuring all musical and technical requirements are covered in advance. If required, we can also arrange sound, staging and lighting through our trusted suppliers.
Do You Perform Outside of London?
Yes. While London is our home, USO performs across the UK and around the world, with performances taking us throughout Europe and as far afield as the USA, India, China and New Zealand. Wherever your event takes us, our experienced team can manage the logistics from start to finish.
