FIRST RELEASE 2026

After a year of celebration, we’re excited to be forging the future, finding new ways to engage with artists, collaborate with festivals, develop touring circuits and encourage curiosity from you, our audience. We strive to keep the spirit of ‘aliveness’ in every performance we present. This First Release brochure is our initial burst of activity which gives us latitude to add extra concerts and the flexibility to keep refining our program for the second half of the year.

Our approach to curation is based around sound, and we are always searching for artists who inspire us to listen. The selection of music is artist-led, so each program is a deeply personal expression of what they want to explore, create and share with you. On our travels we are drawn to musicians who ignite a spark in us. Our response is usually immediate, intuitive and emotional but rarely intellectual.

As always, our thanks to you for your unwavering support. We look forward to sharing inspirational music-making in the year ahead.
