He creates modern contemporary music in a style which audiences instantly connect with. A fifth generation Sitarist, he is hailed as the most enigmatic and trailblazing musician in India across generations.</p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;">Following years of training under his father and guru Pandit Kartick Kumar, Niladri went on to revolutionise sitar playing with the invention of his own instrument. The Zitar is a hybrid of the Sitar and the electric guitar. The concept began with a travelling sitar, modified by Niladri to have electric pickup and five strings instead of twenty. The resulting rock guitar sound redefined audience perception of Indian classical music.</p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;">Niladri’s ability to fuse classical and contemporary influences has earned him fans both young and old.

It articulates themes of misspent youth, the passing of time, and the horrors of the accelerating news cycle. It brings together some of the UK’s finest young players with the flair of a string quartet, taking the corto.alto sound in a new direction. These include Mercury prize-nominated pianist Fergus McCreadie, trumpeter James Copus, trombonist Anoushka Nanguy, and drummer Graham Costello.</p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;">Shortall cut his teeth playing trombone in Scottish National Jazz Orchestra and making beats in his bedroom. He is proud of his Glaswegian upbringing and Irish-Spanish heritage (corto.alto translates as short, tall in Spanish). His renegade sound is a constant push-and-pull of bravado and vulnerability. As he explains, ‘the title<em style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;"> Bad With Names</em> comes from feeling like in the madness of it all you’re losing the ability of memory, or at least the illusion of that.’</p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;">The summer of 2023 saw corto.alto play Glastonbury, Love Supreme and Barcelona’s Jamboree Jazz Club.

As one of the most important composers in post-liberation South Africa, Ndodana-Breen draws upon personal narratives of his homeland of South Africa. ‘By quoting and paraphrasing aspects of African music and dance, Safika alludes to memories of lives left behind, the people, the songs, the dances, and the connection to the land,’ explains Ndodana-Breen. Composer Undine Smith Moore (1904-1989) references the Black spirituality of her Southern upbringing and that of her South African brothers and sisters in the piano trio <em style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;">Soweto </em>(1987). As a Black woman born in the Jim Crow South, she generated great empathy for the international plight of Black people under similarly oppressive systems. The programme closes with the Piano Quintet in G minor by Samuel Coleridge Taylor (1875-1912), an inspirational figure for many worldwide, and the face of an increasingly multicultural Britain.</p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;">‘<em style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;">Though many of the pieces will be unfamiliar to the majority of classical music lovers, the themes of fortitude, resistance, and hope will resonate deeply,</em>‘ explains Samantha. ‘<em style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;">We are excited for listeners to immerse themselves in the music and take this journey with us.</em>‘</p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;">According to Ashleigh, founder and violist of COOS, the musicians fully embraced the challenges of the music. ‘<em style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;">I reminded the artists of the storytelling power in these works.

From classrooms to concert halls, COOS invites explorations into Black heritage and culture, spotlighting both unsung and celebrated figures of the past and present. Violist Ashleigh Gordon and composer Anthony R. Green founded COOS in 2013 to address the lack of equity in composer representation on concert stages and the omission of important stories and figures in Black history. A decade on, the organisation still shines as a beacon for diversity in the arts.</p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;"><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;font-weight:700;">About <a href="https://www.samanthaege.com/" style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;color:#ff3366;">Samantha Ege </a></span></p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;">Samantha Ege is a musicologist, pianist, and research fellow at the University of Southampton.

His Impromptus were written in the same year as the Impromptus, Op 90, but were not published until 1839, more than a decade after his death. Together with the preceding set, they have become a cornerstone of the piano repertoire.</p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;">In 1911, when he was almost 50, Claude Debussy wrote to the composer Edgar Varèse, ‘I love pictures almost as much as music’. In 1905 he began three sets of compositions depicting or conveying a variety of pictures – images. Book 2 of these includes the evocative <em style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;">Poissons d’or</em> (<em style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;">Goldfish</em>). The work is said to be inspired by a painting of two gold-coloured fish on a small Japanese lacquer panel that Debussy owned.</p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;">During the 19th Century, the piano reigned for decades as the centre of home entertainment. To accommodate the increasing desire of the masses for proficiency at the piano, books of études were published. These musical exercises were designed to increase strength and dexterity through repetition of a single technique, such as scales. Chopin’s Études, Op 25 were hailed by Robert Schumann as ‘poems in music’. He coined for it the alternate name ‘<em style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;">Aeolian Harp</em>‘ for the notes that evoke the whispers of a celestial harp.<br /></p><p><br /></p>"^^http://purl.org/xtypes/Fragment-XHTML

Their muscular anthems, galloping grooves and tender moments placed them at the forefront of a new movement in jazz, paving the way for 6 highly acclaimed albums over 10 years. Pianist and composer Neil Cowley then pressed ‘pause’ to pursue a solo career – no less successful – taking in neo-classical composition and electronica. Now, stirred by his extended time of solitary music making, he makes a firm statement about the joy, comfort and the rewards of human connection in the digital age.</span></p><p style="background-repeat:no-repeat;line-height:1.4;margin-bottom:0px;color:#091f2c;"><span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:arial;">Joining Cowley are his close musical allies, bassist <span style="background-repeat:no-repeat;font-weight:700;">Rex Horan</span> and drummer <span style="background-repeat:no-repeat;font-weight:700;margin-bottom:0px;">Evan Jenkins</span>; three friends giving their all to each other, metaphorically dancing together.

It is the Neil Cowley Trio sound, with the finger lifted from the pause button. It is a magnificent return to form cementing the ‘Neil Cowley Trio sound’- head-nodding wonky grooves, killer melodies, emotionally charged pieces with a glass like fragility laced throughout.
