"It’s a personal exploration. I'm discovering my own voice, my own sound all
the time," explains Bill Laurance. "I get a kick out of this
ever-evolving journey.”
That journey has led Laurance across the
globe and through a myriad of award-winning musical projects. A
world-renowned multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer dubbed a
“jazz maestro” by The Guardian, Laurance is also known as a founding
member of Snarky Puppy, the Grammy-winning collective.
Bill’s composition work extends across a wide range of genres, the most recent
being his first feature film score ‘Un Traductor’ was nominated for best
foreign film at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival. Other collaborations
include work with prestigious dance companies (Alvin Ailey, Mathew
Bourne and Northern Ballet Theatre).
He has performed with an
array of musical talents, including David Crosby, Morcheeba, Salif
Keita, Bobby McFerrin, Susana Baca and many more.
Bill is currently composing three separate commissions for Big Band, Orchestra and Choir.
His four albums (Flint, 2014; Swift, 2015; Aftersun, 2016; and Live at
Union Chapel, 2016) all hit the top of the UK and US iTunes Jazz charts.
His new album 'Cables' is an entirely solo recording with Bill playing
everything. Centred on Bill’s unique and beautiful piano playing, the
album consists of eight brand new genre-defying compositions, embracing
electronica and subtle beats and textures and is co-produced by studio
wiz Nic Hard.
This concert sees Bill perform work from the album entirely solo with a little help from some electronic friends...
This is a seated show.
U14s to be accompanied by an adult.
