A spectacular collaboration which underlines the fluidity, freedom and maverick brilliance of Norway's thriving music scene.
Jaga Jazzist are unclassifiable, a 10-piece collective whose music rampages across boundaries, combining jazz, electronics, post-rock and more with exhilarating energy and precision.
For this one-off show, they'll perform new versions of songs from all four of their albums in specially-commissioned, widescreen orchestral arrangements. The concert also includes the first UK performance of Kaleidoscopic, a radiant and sublimely beautiful 35-minute long composition for orchestra and electronics written by Jaga Jazzist's creative lynchpin Lars Horntveth.

Due to circumstances beyond her control Susanne Sundfør has had to cancel her appearance with Jaga Jazzist and Britten Sinfonia. Jaga Jazzist will play a slightly extended set in the second half.
