Julian Lage
The world-class guitar virtuoso and composer takes over our biggest stage with John Medeski, Jorge Roeder and Kenny Wollesen.
Lage began his musical career at a very young age, and has charted a colourful, ever-changing, and ever-innovative path since, one that has, so far, earned him five GRAMMY nominations and one Independent Music Award.
Lage’s most recent studio release is 2024’s critically acclaimed Speak to Me (Blue Note Records), which was nominated for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album at the 67th annual GRAMMY Awards.
Over the course of his multi-decade career, Lage has collaborated with fellow musical heavyweights including Gary Burton, Yoko Ono, Jim Hall, John Zorn and more.
Opening the evening is Bryony Jarman-Pinto. The Lancaster-based singer, songwriter, musician and Jazz FM Award nominee seamlessly blends enchanting vocals and thoughtful instrumentation with intricately crafted and personal lyrics, drawing inspiration from soul and folk influences and jazz-inspired melodies.
