DEBUSSY (arr. Simcock) ‘Children's Corner’ (30’)
Gwilym Simcock, the “jaw-droppingly exciting” pianist (The Guardian) and jazz superstar is celebrated for his ability to move effortlessly between jazz and classical music.
For one night only, Gwilym and his band of incredible jazz musicians are joined by world-class classical artists for what promises to be a hugely entertaining evening. His phenomenal talent breathes new jazz-inspired life into award-winning makeovers of classical music. This thrilling evening gives a fresh take on Debussy’s ‘Children’s Corner’ and other classics.
Gwilym has toured extensively with the cream of international jazz artists including Kenny Wheeler, Dave Holland and Pat Metheny. His high-profile collaborations with the classical world include a rapturously-received late-night BBC Prom with the classical virtuoso Nigel Kennedy, performing a jazz-infused version of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons.
