A programme full of contrasts from one of today’s most impressive pianists. Clare’s imagination and thirst for discovery have put her in a league of her own. She enjoys a rich career working as a soloist, chamber musician, with major orchestras and conductors, and in 2024 Clare made her debut at the BBC Proms. This evening will range from dancing miniatures to major new works by leading composers. Simplicity alongside virtuosity, it will be the perfect finale to the season.

Two fearless performers whose musical brilliance is matched by the physical theatricality of their work. This electro-acoustic programme will bring together powerful explorations of body, voice and sound. You can expect a set that alternates from the visceral to the hypnotic; music that is both challenging and beautiful, and that draws inspiration from across artforms.
Riot Ensemble have become a vital part of the new music scene in Britain and increasingly worldwide. They champion composers with tireless dedication, giving jaw-dropping performances of the most exciting new works. For this concert a set of solos and duos will take place in every corner, making full use of the unique acoustics of this special space. A sextet from the Riot Ensemble will then unite to perform a major new work by Norwegian composer Eric Skytterholm Egan, a meditation on a passage from James Joyce’s Ulysses.
Doors open at 7.30pm.
