Neil Cowley Trio

The Neil Cowley Trio reunite to perform their first live show together in 7 years. They present music from their outstanding brand-new album, Entity, alongside some fan-favourite Cowley classics.

In 2006 the Neil Cowley Trio burst onto the scene with an exciting sound that fizzed with energy; their muscular anthems, galloping grooves and tender moments placed them at the forefront of a new movement in jazz, paving the way for 6 highly acclaimed albums over 10 years.

Jyotsna Srinkanth

Hailing from Bangalore and now based in London, Jyotsna is Europe’s foremost Indian violinist.

Her music illuminates Carnatic musical tradition in kaleidoscope colour. Approaching every musical interaction with a forward-thinking outlook and elastic expressivity, Jyotsna is just as likely to be found revelling in raga rotations or jamming in free jazz, often marrying the two.

Distilled: Debussy to the Beatles

Explore a gamut of human emotions from the giddiness of falling in love through the pain of loss and regret to the joy of reconciliation in the company of composers from across the globe.

This programme, performed by a trio of harp, cello and voice, includes pieces from Massenet, Hahn and Brassens from France, as well as the foremost Brazilian artist Villa-Lobos. Belgian-born British composer Poldowski brings a female perspective to proceedings, while The Beatles introduce an unmistakable swinging sixties vibe.

This will be a Relaxed Performance.
