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.
Lars Horntveth - Kaleidoscopic (live)
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.
