Part of the Whiddon Autumn Festival 2024 We are thrilled that our 2024 Festival Jazz Night will be headlined by extraordinary jazz pianist-composer Lukas DeRungs and his Sextet, comprised of leading lights on London's young jazz scene, performing Lukas's own award-winning KOSMOS Suite.
Described as "music full of imagination, both tender and explosive", KOSMOS is a suite for jazz ensemble & chamber choir, for which the Sextet will be joined by the voices of Corvus Consort in a very special one-night-only collaboration.
KOSMOS, recorded as Lukas's debut album, won him the Jazz Prize of Baden-Württemberg and a nomination for the German Jazz Prize in 2023. The Suite exemplifies Lukas's love for pulse and rhythm, whilst reflecting various influences from contemporary jazz, European choral music, and Eastern melodies.
The Sextet will also perform a set of jazz standards and original songs, fronted by rising-star vocalist Immy Churchill. Immy is already becoming a familiar name on the UK's jazz scene, fresh from recent performances at Ronnie Scott's, The Jazz Café, Vortex Jazz Club, The Green Note, and Pizza Express Holborn.
Back by popular demand, the evening will open with an a cappella set from the lower voices of Corvus Consort, humorously dubbed the "WAFter Eights" after their rapturously received debut at WAF 2023.
