NYJX:
The National Youth Jazz Exchange NYJX is a distinctive, new ensemble that brings together early-career artists from across the UK. Mentored by Orphy Robinson MBE, this unconventional collective of prodigious talent delivers a unique body of original material, developed during – and influenced by – the nationwide pandemic lockdowns. Expect an elaborate sonic patchwork of strings, reeds, drums, and washes of modular synthesis.
