Praised for his ‘revelatory mastery’ of this lesser-known instrument, BBC New Generation artist Ryan Corbett has created shockwaves through the classical music world. The classical accordion is a rare beast, but this young virtuoso has shown it to be capable of colossal power, depth, and sensitivity through performances at the Berlin Philharmonie, Wigmore Hall and the Scottish Coronation of HM King Charles III. Don’t miss a chance to experience “one of the most astonishing newcomers in Scottish music” (Sir James Macmillan).
The evening starts with long-time collaborators and friends, Neil Birse and Matthew Kilner, playing their original piano and saxophone compositions. With firm roots in the world of jazz, their music combines a multitude of genres and soundscapes to give an authentic account of improvised music from the North East of Scotland.
After Ryan’s set, all three musicians will come together for the evening’s finale.
