The fabulous London Improvisers Orchestra returns to the impressive New St. Mary’s Church in Stoke in Newington for more exploration into the hemisphere of sound and space.

My double neck ukulele will be mingling with a superb line-up of instruments and players.

Tickets: £10/£5 cash or card on the door.

Formed in summer of 1998, the London Improvisers Orchestra has been dedicated to large ensemble conducted improvisation, or ‘Conduction’, and free improvisation, for over 25 years.

The orchestra was formed from the ashes of the 1997 touring group of American improviser Butch Morris, the pioneering inventor of Conduction. Since its birth, the group has had hundreds of members pass through its ranks, including Evan Parker, Pat Thomas, Byron Wallen, John Edwards, Lol Coxhil, Caroline Kraabel, and Mark Sanders. To this day, the group is led by founding member Steve Beresford, an icon of the UK’s improvisation movement.
