"I've wanted to work with each of these amazing musicians for years. Avidly listening as they forge their creative paths across the international scene, sharing a mutual keenness to be bold and adventurous with their ideas. Their compositions are highly programmatic & often deeply personal, keenly exploring the full emotional spectrum, while pushing the composed & the improvised to the max. I’m certain this hand-picked ensemble will provide the listener with a unique & exciting programme that offers a broader, more diverse experience than any audience might typically hear!"
(Issie Barratt: Founding Artistic Director)
