Event information

The Chaos Festival rolls into town and we present two nights of brave, cutting edge new music, curated by the ever-impressive Chaos Collective

Laura Jurd's 'Landing Ground' + the Ligeti Quartet + Lauren Kinsella

Having received critical acclaim since its release last year, Laura Jurd presents the music from her debut album 'Landing Ground' featuring the Ligeti Quartet. The opening night of the festival will also the premiere of a brand new, commissioned work for string quartet and vocalist Lauren Kinsella - a setting of a poem, words by Simon Collings.

'Jurd stretched critics and musicians' repertoire of superlatives with this sophisticated and technically awesome session – on memorable originals with folk and contemporary-classical connections, delivered with the assurance of a budding trumpet-improv original.' - John Fordham, The Guardian
