**Singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Devonté Hynes premieres sublime new compositions alongside Tariq Al-Sabir, Adam Tendler and Cæcilie Trier.** Devonté Hynes is one of contemporary music’s most remarkable figures – ‘The polymath musician is a whole new model of artist, daubing his signature sensibility over music, film, dance and everything else he touches.’ (New York Times) In this premiere performance of new compositions, Hynes brings together an ensemble of glittering talent. Tariq Al-Sabir is an internationally distinguished interdisciplinary artist, composer and music director whose work spans performance, improvisation, sound design, movement, poetry, theatre and film, with a practice rooted in genre-fluid experimentation and collaboration. Grammy-nominated pianist Adam Tendler is a pioneer of DIY culture in classical music who has been called ‘the hottest pianist on the American contemporary classical scene’ (Minneapolis Star Tribune). Cæcilie Trier is a critically acclaimed cellist, singer and composer whose classical training infuses her varied and boundary-pushing musical projects and collaborations. *The ticket price includes a £2 venue restoration levy.*
