The festival programme offers a rich array of sounds, featuring everything from folk to RnB, jazz, baroque electronica, chamber music, choral sounds and contemporary brass, to name just a few.
Expect a truly eclectic and innovative lineup of projects reflecting the forefront of new, experimental music brought together with a variety of multimedia elements including poetry, storytelling, conceptual theatre and film.
All events are free. Note that while free tickets can be reserved online these do not guarantee entry – seating is unallocated and admission is based on first-come, first-served for those with tickets. Arrive early to avoid disappointment.
Performances typically last one hour each and are hosted in the concert venues within the Queen Elizabeth Hall building.
