Improbaband: Day = Night
Day=Night
An evening of live improvised music and story.
Join The ImprobaBand for an evening of live music inspired by special guests. 7-9 February 2024, 7:30pm at The Gulbenkian Theatre Canterbury.
Leading the band is composer musical director and master musical improviser Chris Ash on keys with Joley Cragg on percussion Juliet Colyer on cello and Max Gittings on woodwind. Their music takes them from the National Theatre to one-to-one work with patients in hospitals to the London Jazz Festival Shakespeare’s Globe and around the world on tour. Between them they’ve done everything from founding and leading Showstopper! The Improvised Musical to performing with leading UK classical groups including Bournemouth Symphony and London Contemporary Orchestra.
***** “The ease in which the music flowed is magnificent and exciting to watch created before you. A unique one-off performance delivered by world-class talents. - Beyond The Curtain on An Improbable Musical
Each night the band will be joined by special guests to inspire a unique musical score that will only ever exist in that moment. A jazz tune sung by Josie Lawrence inspired by a local architect? A cello sonata inspired by chat between a chef and a designer? Ruth Bratt sings an operatic aria inspired by a master carpenter? A funk-groove born from chapter 3 of a writer’s new novel? Local fantastical real and imagined come together in this part-gig part-show night for the musically curious.
Brought to you by award-winning theatre company Improbable (My Neighbour Totoro Lifegame Satyagraha) and the team behind the hit production An Improbable Musical this special series of performances strips it back to a night of superb musical improvisation.
