A giant of the jazz improv world, Tim Garland brings together his eclectically-minded trio and the equally open-minded orchestra Britten Sinfonia for the most ambitious project of his stellar career. 

Full of free-flowing grooves with classical influences and irresistible Turkish rhythms, the Lighthouse Trio’s new album Moment of Departure was recorded with Britten Sinfonia.

This special concert includes a work resulting from the unique and longstanding relationship between Britten Sinfonia’s leader Thomas Gould and Gwilym Simcock and Tim Garland. The Forever Seed, a new orchestral piece features Gould, Simcock and Sirkis as soloists, conducted by Garland. 

Also featured is a brand-new work from Simcock for himself, Britten Sinfonia, and Tim Garland, and Jonathan Brigg's superb tribute to Thelonius Monk, written for Britten Sinfonia’s strings in 2022. 

With artwork projections by Esra Kizir Gokcen.
