Join us for a movi ng exploration of South Asian Classical music through the medium of fr ee improvisation. No boundaries - No limits.\nJihad Darwish is a music ian, composer, and producer whose artistic journey has evolved towards a deep exploration of sitar and Indian classical music. After years o f working across jazz, folk, and contemporary music, collaborating wit h artists such as Sting, Van Morrison, Anderson Paak, Eric Bibb, Imeld a May, Mica Paris and Arthur Verocai, he has increasingly focused on i ntegrating the sitar’s rich tradition into his compositions. His 202 3 album 4 Parakeets marked a pivotal moment in this transition, drawin g from traditional ragas while blending jazz modal harmony and Western song structures. The album received 4-star reviews from Jazzwise and UK Vibe and was featured on BBC Radio and Jazz FM. Having performed at venues from Ronnie Scott’s and the Barbican to the Sydney Opera Hou se and Montreux Jazz Festival, Darwish now channels his diverse musica l background into reimagining the sitar’s role in contemporary music , exploring new sonic possibilities through improvisation, electronics , and cross-genre collaboration.\nMoses Boyd is a Mercury-nominated co mposer, producer and drummer, known as a prominent figure within the m odern London jazz scene.

After graduating from Trinity Laban Colleg e of Music and Dance, cutting his teeth at local jam sessions, he form ed the duo Binker & Moses; their debut, Dem Ones, earned an award for Best Jazz Act at the MOBO Awards, which he then won again for himself a few years later.
