  • Salon Imaginaire #7 - Diane Cluck and Ichi

    Concert

    Diane Cluck is an American singer-songwriter who contributed to New York's burgeoning 'Antifolk' scene in the early 2000s. She tours the US, UK and Europe, employing singing as a healing, textural experience. Ichi is a musician from Nagoya in Japan who takes the notion of a one-man band to new limits, combining his quirky handmade instrument inventions with steel-drum, ping-pong balls, toys and everyday objects.

  • Salon Imaginaire #8 - Pat Thomas and Sarah Angliss

    Concert

    Pat Thomas studied classical piano from aged eight and started playing Jazz from the age of sixteen. He has since gone on to develop an utterly unique style - embracing improvisation, jazz and new music. Sarah Angliss is a composer making dreamlike performances where the total theatre of the sound's creation is as striking as the music itself. Her music reflects her eclectic background as a classically trained composer, electronic artist and folk musician, and often plays with notions of electrical mysticism and the uncanny.

  • Recital of Music for Piano with Roy Stratford

    Concert

    Roy Stratford performs Bach's Goldberg Variations - a work which demonstrates almost everything that Western classical music has achieved in terms of both technical brilliance and emotional range. Although that might sound rather daunting it is in fact a work of great humour and fun and a source of infinite pleasure and reward.
