London Jazz x LSO: Jerwood Composer+ Showcase

LSO Discovery

,LSO St Luke's
London Jazz x LSO Part 1

Electronics, jazz, classical textures and roaring improvisation collide as musicians from the London Symphony Orchestra and artists from the London jazz scene blur boundaries and break down beats.

 
Hear new works by curator Emma-Jean Thackray, a reimagining of Hello Skinny's hypnotic dance album Watermelon Sun and Cecil B Dyslexik’s fiery satirical poetry and rap. It'll be big, loud, gentle, powerful, sensitive and get you thinking as well as dancing.
