The Leon String Quartet play at festivals and concert series across the UK with recent performances including quartets by Haydn, Schubert and Prokofiev. They actively promote new music, premiering works by local and international composers and collaborating with songwriters, artists and poets. The Workshop Jazz Collective was formed by saxophonist Matt Miles to provide a platform for collaboration and experimentation. Some of the region’s best jazz performer-composers meet regularly to workshop each other’s pieces and develop personal approaches to writing for a chamber jazz orchestra. This performance features premieres of several new pieces combining both groups. Doors open at 19:00. Event begins at 20:00. Refreshments available throughout the evening from the cafe.
