BGE Theatre, Friday 6th March
Jon Hopkins – Polarity Tour 2020.
Taking in Royal Albert Hall London, Sage Gateshead, Brighton Dome, Salle Pleyel Paris, Helsinki Music Centre and Berlin's Philharmonie – to name just a few – Polarity will, Jon says, tether together “the two disparate elements of harsh and fragile in my music.” He explains, “by going between the two, we'll hopefully create some profound moments of stillness.”
Playing grand piano for parts of the show, he will be joined on stage by a small group of consummate musicians and long-time friends, consisting of acclaimed producer and guitarist Leo Abrahams, violinist and arranger Emma Smith and cellist Laura Moody. Presenting his live show in seated venues will present a fascinating challenge for both performer and audience. “Right now I have a set that's tailored to festivals and to standing crowds and intoxicated people,” he says, “and that's been amazing, but I would say my deepest nature lies in the stillness, the meditative side of my music.”
