About
Joining us tonight to celebrate 60 years on the planet will be Roland Perrin, composer, pianist and educator. As a performer he has appeared with a diverse array of leading jazz and World music artists and his compositions range from solo piano works to full orchestral pieces. His many compositions include the full length opera for choir and jazz band "Lansky", which was received with significant acclaim, and the 300 strong choral, jazz/Brazilian tour de force "Rio Amazonas", which had its Barbican premiere in 2018. Roland sees his music as taking some of the best elements from different traditions, developing and unfolding them like a story and, as he says, "leaving space for the music to dance"...
