Sam Wilson and George Barton open a new window on the world of percussion – with a computer light show by Sam Steer. The music they make will intrigue and elate you.

Jenni’s is creating a new musical space with adventurous musicians, all experienced improvisers. Instead of creating a straight-forward band Jenni will bring her considerable experience as a facilitator of others to entangle with her and her musicians, inviting a number of participants, probably one at a time, from the audience, to join them on stage. The idea behind this is to break with the audience/performer duality and seek new riches and contexts provided by each participant.
Joby Talbot’s Path of Miracles was the first major work commissioned by the award-winning professional vocal ensemble, Tenebrae, in 2005 and having received high acclaim (“an evocative odyssey” – The Times) returns this year for an extensive UK tour. To accompany its revival, Tenebrae has commissioned a unique new choral work by Owain Park, Footsteps, which allows Tenebrae to perform alongside the Choristers of Truro Cathedral and marks Tenebrae’s fifteenth-anniversary season.

The UK’s leading contemporary opera company, Music Theatre Wales, returns this autumn with a shockingly relevant tale of migration and exploitation, Hungarian composer Peter Eötvös’s The Golden Dragon. Set in a Pan-Asian restaurant found in any city anywhere, and based on Roland Schimmelpfennig’s wildly successful play, The Golden Dragon is funny, shocking and touching in equal measure. The tour runs from Friday 22 September to Tuesday 31 October, 2017.
