An international line-up of musicians, free improvisers and audio artists. Be ready to hear sounds from various everyday objects as well as traditional instruments (but probably not as you’ve heard them before).

Curated by Adam Bohman, a cult experimental musician who you may have met before running our New Year New Sounds festival.

Full line-up:
Sonia Paco Rocchia - Solo Bassoon & Electronics
Ensembe Trip-Tik:
Adrian Northover - Alto & Soprano Saxes
Catherine Pluygers - Oboe & Cor Anglais
Adam Bohman - prepared Strings & Objects

I will improvise with my bassoon in London Improviser Orchestra during the improvisation festival Freedom of the City. I think it will be a very good one: I heard rumours about great improvisers names who might come and, it will be great! Freedom of the City is curated by Trevor Brent, John Coxon, Evan Parker and Eddie Prévost.

Single concert: £12 (£10adv) (to book or see pass tickets it is here)

• Peter Evans "a solo cavalcade of furious blowing, madcap bebopping and careful breathing"
• Okkyung Lee/Paul Lytton "super fluid and organic yet driven with inner pulses"
• Tania Chen/Lol Coxhill/Dominic Lash "still think surprise sounds"
• London Improvisers Orchestra "intensity, excitement, and invention"''

My bassoon and me will sit with LIO again this Sunday. Last one was my debut conducting, and I loved it!
