The London premiere of a cinematic masterpiece transformed! Grammy-nominated composer Michael Shapiro‘s thrilling score turns a horror classic into a contemporary cinematic event.

Shapiro’s critically acclaimed score marries the original film with live orchestra, creating a haunting emotional landscape and significantly enhancing the film’s dramatic power.

In 1972, Graham Gouldman co-founded 10cc, a band that achieved a series of Top 10 hits, including three Number One singles ‘Rubber Bullets’, ‘I’m Not In Love’, and ‘Dreadlock Holiday’, among others.

It’s the enduring appeal of these tracks, along with Graham’s passion for performing acoustic versions, that inspired the creation of Heart Full of Songs.

The show features many 10cc classics alongside ‘Bridge to Your Heart’ (from Graham’s time with Wax) and hits he wrote for The Yardbirds (‘For Your Love’, ‘Heart Full of Soul’), Herman’s Hermits (‘No Milk Today’) and The Hollies (‘Bus Stop’, ‘Look Through Any Window’), along with tracks from his latest critically acclaimed solo album, I Have Notes.

From Flanders looking westwards across the Channel, and eastwards to Bohemia’s hills and forests, this is a concert inspired by nature.

Butterworth and Vaughan Williams’ sumptuous works were set in motion by English poetry. But in a richly burnished orchestral tone poem, and in Vaughan Williams’ ever-popular, ravishing violin rhapsody, you can almost smell the warm earth, hear the dawn chorus and imagine yourself bathing in the still, sweet air of the English countryside.

Through her luminous voice and soulful storytelling, acclaimed vocalist and songwriter Lizz Wright returns to the stage with the grace and honesty that have defined her remarkable 20-year career. Described by The New York Times as possessing “a smooth, dark alto” reminiscent of “barrel-aged bourbon or butter-soft leather”, Wright’s sound bridges generations and genres, uniting gospel, jazz, blues, and folk traditions into something deeply human and uniquely her own.

Raised in Georgia, Wright’s musical roots trace back to the church where her father preached, and she led the choir – experiences that continue to shape her resonance and emotional depth. Over the years, she has released a string of acclaimed albums, including Salt, Dreaming Wide Awake, and Grace, earning her place among America’s great modern voices.

A double bill show from the Andy Sheppard Trio and Normal Winstone & Kit Downes.

The Andy Sheppard Trio marks an unprecedented encounter between master saxophonist Andy Sheppard, Italian jazz icon pianist Rita Marcotulli, and one of the most prominent bassists on the European circuit, French bassist Michel Benita. Three highly individual musicians, each of whom has played a significant role in shaping what we now recognise as the sound of European jazz.

In this new trio, Sheppard has the opportunity to develop an entire programme of new compositions, taking a spirited and fresh approach to his writing for the project – honouring jazz tradition while allowing space for interpretation through the unique voices within the trio. Collectively exploring the possibilities of improvisation and interplay, the music is anchored in structure yet open to lyricism, free to discover new paths and evolve in different directions as it unfolds.

A Norwegian trumpeter and a Greek pianist: it is hard to imagine greater contrasts in temperature and temperament. And yet, Nils Petter Molvær and Tania Giannouli meet effortlessly in a surprisingly organic dialogue. Improvising all possible directions, they explore an eclectic sonic universe where boundaries between genres blur.

Even the limits of their instruments are pushed: Giannouli ventures inside her piano with various objects, while Molvær manipulates his trumpet sounds with electronics or blows directly into the piano.
