The Bridge is Cuba’s most internationally acclaimed guitar duo. With their musical empathy, Eduardo Martín and Ahmed Dickinson transform their concerts into a vehicle that connects, incorporates and juxtaposes their different generations; and the spiritual journey that drives their thrilling yet soothing performances.

Like many other Cubans or Caribbean, they enjoy a natural sense of rhythm. The guitar is their favoured instrument, which idiomatically conveys all the melodic and rhythmic intricacies of South America's cultural diversity.

Experience 'Everything and All of Us' anew with an evening of live piano performances.

Acclaimed Leeds-based pianists and composers, Simeon Walker and Laura Cole, will each perform brand-new music live in the gallery space. They have been specially commissioned to respond to our current exhibition, 'Mary Griffiths: Everything and All of Us'.

The exhibition as a whole foregrounds Griffiths' collaborative approach. This includes works created with poets, biophysicists, astronomers, engineers - and musicians.

Inspired by the depictions of mythological, ancient stories and Indic folklore, Blossoming is a seamless blend of Indian classical instrumentation, Western orchestration, and neoclassical textures created by Yorkshire santoor maestro Eeshar Singh.

The performance is accompanied by live visuals to take the audience on a journey through music and storytelling. Joining Eeshar Singh are Jeevan Singh (percussion, tabla, nagara) and Sirrjan Singh (esraj, tar-shehnai and live visuals).

Join us for Parivaar—a special evening of Indian classical music and dance, dedicated to the legendary sitar maestro, Ustad Vilayat Khan Sahib.

We are delighted to be joined by renowned artist Ustad Dharambir Singh on sitar, alongside his incredibly talented family: Upneet Singh on tabla, Kaviraj Singh on santoor and vocals, Surmeet Singh on sitar, Priya Dhadyalla on vocals, and Seetal Kaur performing Kathak dance, in Leeds.
