TURNER Sims welcomes the Graham Fitkin Group to Southampton on Thursday.
This stunning nine-piece band features some of the best musicians working in the UK today, exploring new and rhythmically intricate music with pulse, energy and minimalism. Fresh from winning his 2009 British Composer Award, Graham and his virtuoso band perform no-nonsense music, with punchy rhythms, tight grooves and phenomenal playing, featuring saxes, trumpet, percussion, piano, harps, guitar and bass.
All the music has been composed by Graham over the past 12 months and treads the line between formal ‘serious’ concert music genres and more informal music.
Fitkin’s music has mass appeal, with stylistic influences from jazz to minimalism, and early to folk.
Box office: 023 8059 5151.
