Beyond The Loop
I have curated a 3 part event at the opening of King's Place, an outstanding brand new building in King's Cross featuring a state of the art concert hall combined with gallery, 2nd recital hall, restaurants and new home to the Guardian, London Sinfonietta,The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and many other arts organisations. The acoustics in the main hall are absolutely stunning and rival (possibly better in my humble opinion) other famous halls such as the Wigmore.
The event is part of 5 days of concerts from a wide range of musicians and features a rare chance to hear the Max Richter ensemble, the Duke Quartet performing Steve Reich's seminal 'Different Trains' and the John Metcalfe band all in one place and time. This all happens on 1st October. Tickets are next to nothing so move fast! http://www.kingsplace.co.uk/music/opening-festival/beyond-the-loop
