About
Pianist and composer Simon Wallace has balanced a hectic schedule as an award winning composer for film, TV and theatre with his first love of playing improvised music for over 40 years. He is best known on the jazz scene for the songs he wrote with lyricist Fran Landesman (the Observer called them “one of the finest songwriting partnerships alive”) and as a musical director for singers including Clare Teal, Ian Shaw, Sarah Moule, Barb Jungr and Gill Manly. In addition, Simon is currently head of composing and arranging at LCCM in London.
For this concert, Simon will debut a new work commissioned specifically for London Jazz Festival, ‘London Lights’ that will draw upon the vibrant cosmopolitan street music ofLondon from the 18th century to the present day...
