MICHELLE WOLF has quickly become one of the most influential voices in the comedy landscape as she continues on the path of a breakout year, with the Village Voice calling her “the voice comedy needs right now” and The Daily Beast declaring, “Michelle Wolf is the future of stand-up comedy.” She recently served as the executive producer, writer, and host of the critically-acclaimed variety sketch series “The Break with Michelle Wolf” on Netflix. Previously, she made international headlines as the much buzzed-about headliner of the 2018 White House Correspondents Dinner. Wolf debuted her first hour-long stand-up special, “Michelle Wolf: Nice Lady”, on HBO late last year. The well-reviewed special tackled a wide range of topics from her surprising thoughts on feminism, the environment and why Hilary Clinton could not be a “nice lady,” and more of life’s everyday absurdities. She received a Primetime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Writing For A Variety Special. Wolf was previously as an on-air contributor and writer for Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.” Prior to joining “The Daily Show,” she was a writing supervisor and performer on “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” where she also made her late-night television debut in July 2014.

With his broad outlook, Thile creates a distinctly American canon and a new musical aesthetic for performers and audiences alike, giving the listener 'one joyous arc, with the linear melody and vertical harmony blurring into a single web of gossamer beauty' (New York Times).

Marius Neset has spent the last two decades reimagining the sound palette of contemporary jazz. Known for his ecstatic compositional style, the Norwegian saxophonist takes a defiantly maximalist approach, placing his spontaneous horn playing alongside lush orchestral arrangements that sound like they’ve been written in watercolour. In this concert, his relentless improvisations are accompanied by the pulse and precision of the London Sinfonietta. Neset first worked with the London Sinfonietta in 2016, unleashing the dizzying orchestral sprawls Arches of Nature and Snowmelt. Calling on the illusory effect of prog-rock repetition, as well as the freewheeling harmonic changes of jazz, these pieces distort the perceived boundaries between control and chaos, observing them as one entity. Neset’s saxophone serves as a waypoint. At its most tender, it can be an anchor, pulling him into the lush arrangements built up by the London Sinfonietta. But he also uses his instrument as a point of no return. His blistering melodic lines filibuster towards freedom, escaping the contained worlds constructed in his scores. This concert also features a new piece by emerging composer Ashkan Layegh. Inspired by Persian music, Layegh’s compositions can be disorienting, like a shredded version of something traditional. He uses live improvisation to make his influences feel ephemeral - a moment in the present, rather than a reference to the past. Programme includes: Ashkan Layegh Ephemerality and Recurrence - LS commission, world premiere Marius Neset Changes - LS commission, world premiere Marius Neset saxophones Anton Eger drums London Sinfonietta Phemo Quartet

The London-born saxophonist, composer and bandleader melds jazz, classical, dub and R&B into sweeping, adventurous music to stir the senses. Garcia grew up studying under the noted pianist Nikki Yeoh at Camden Music. Her eclectic music style comes from a place of exploration and self-study, of wanting to experiment across all disciplines. Garcia’s most recent album, Odyssey, is a majestic feat blending orchestral arrangements with R&B, jazz, broken beat and dub, resulting in a grand, nuanced record that feels airy and celestial without sacrificing the groove.

The London Sinfonietta celebrates the intoxicating music of Pierre Boulez, stepping into the intricate structures the French composer built throughout his career. With his meticulous, mathematical approach to sound, Boulez dismantled 20th-century music and rewired it, transforming its internal logic. In this concert, the London Sinfonietta explores the chaos within his fixed systems and the volatile consequences of depth and detail. The evening opens with a special insight into …explosante fixe…, as George Benjamin—one of the UK’s greatest living composers—deconstructs the piece live on stage using the full live ensemble and electronics to reveal its inner workings and how Boulez conceived of composition. A longtime champion of Boulez’s work, Benjamin traces its evolution from Mémoriale, the luminous tribute to Igor Stravinsky that later expanded into …explosante fixe…. Marking the centenary of Boulez’s birth, this concert pays tribute to his ever-evolving approach to composition. …explosante fixe… was supposedly completed in 1971, yet Boulez continued reinventing it—experimenting with electronics, orchestration, and emerging MIDI techniques. Originally conceived as a tribute to Igor Stravinsky, the piece became a bridge to the future, constantly reimagined for new times. Throughout Sonic Structures, the London Sinfonietta highlights both the complexity and possibility at the heart of Boulez’s music. In the second half, …explosante fixe… is heard in full, with flutist Michael Cox leading an orchestra in orbit. They respond dynamically to his playing, weaving together the piece’s network of finely-tuned arrangements. At times they are restrained to near-silence, while at others they overwhelm the listener with a blanket continuum of sound. This event offers a deep insight into the mind of Pierre Boulez—one of the most influential composers of the past century—through the artistry of George Benjamin and the London Sinfonietta. Programme to include: Pierre Boulez explosante fixe Pierre Boulez Memoriale George Benjamin conductor Michael Cox flute Royal Academy of Music Manson Ensemble London Sinfonietta

A rare opportunity awaits to experience French composer Gérard Grisey's stunningly dark and disorientating Quatre chants pour franchir le seuil, presented by the London Sinfonietta. This masterpiece offers a journey through intricate collisions of fragmented melody and harmony, Quatre chants pour franchir le seuil, which roughly translates to Four Songs for Crossing the Threshold, explores the boundary between life and death - a significance that is elevated by Grisey's passing soon after its completion, preventing his attendance at the world premiere of the piece by the London Sinfonietta and George Benjamin in 1999. As a pioneering figure in the spectral music movement–music intended to imitate the spectral qualities of a sound–Grisey uniquely explores sonic transformations and transfigurations, calling on microtones and rapid gong acrobatics to conjure these profound and disruptive musical worlds. The piece stands as one of the most significant concert works of the late 20th century, written for soprano and ensemble to create a meditation on death divided into four sections: the death of an angel, the death of civilization, the death of the voice, and the death of humanity. Perhaps now, more than ever, a piece for our times. Programme includes: Gérard Grisey Quatre chants pour franchir le seuil Jack Sheen conductor Nina Guo soprano London Sinfonietta
