Disco Bambino explores the history, aesthetics, and enduring influence of Italian disco through conversation and music. The evening begins with a conversation between Giuseppe Savoni, aka Disco Bambino, and National Sawdust's Siobahn Sung, reflecting on the extraordinary creative energy that shaped Italian music and popular culture from the ‘70s and ‘80s. After the conversation, Disco Bambino will transport us to the Mediterranean coast with a set that captures the imagination, sophistication, and freedom that defined the period. Drawing from his archives and years of research into Italian and Italo Disco, Disco Bambino will uncover the era’s forgotten gems and reintroduce Italian disco not simply as a genre, but as a rich cultural movement shaped by experimentation, style, and a uniquely Italian vision of modernity. Get on the dancefloor and experience the music the way it was meant to be heard: through dancing!

Having spent over two decades establishing themselves as the UK’s prime purveyors of psychedelic rock’n’soul, GRAVITY FREEZE is Little Barrie’s sixth studio album. It is also the band’s first album released solely under their own name since the passing of drummer Virgil Howe who, ten years after joining the band, unexpectedly succumbed to a heart attack in September 2017. Howe’s sudden death understandably devastated Cadogan and fellow founder member/bass player Lewis Wharton, placing Little Barrie’s future in question.

The Green Room Ensemble is thrilled to present the U.S. Premiere performance cycle of Eleanor Alberga’s Three String Quartets, along with the World Premiere of her Second Piano Quintet with the composer herself at the piano. Eleanor Alberga, OBE, is one of today’s most esteemed and influential composers and pianists. Originally inspired by a local music teacher in Kingston, Jamaica, her compositional journey began with her work for the London Contemporary Dance Theatre, where she honed her evocative and riveting musical style. Her Three String Quartets stand as monumental achievements, each heavily varied in style and tone, yet all uniquely of her voice. They are a profound contribution to the genre.

Confessional, raw, poetic-alt-art-pop-piano in Spanish. From Chile to the world. Francisca is one of the boldest and daring artists of her generation in the Spanish language. From Santiago, Chile, to the world, album after album, era after era, she explores themes that are tremendously personal and intimate, raw, in an unapologetic confessional, poetic, piano-based form, with stories and truths that are very universal and compelling.

El Garo holds it down with vinyl selections throughout the night.

The album is the invitation. The live performance is the encounter. Grammy-nominated Argentine-American mezzo-soprano Daniela Mack and Grammy-nominated Argentine bandoneonist JP Jofre bring a distinctive voice to Argentine music today. For Daniela, SUR began with a memory: hearing Astor Piazzolla from the back seat of her father’s car. That sound, with its intensity, melancholy, and freedom, and its unmistakable connection to Buenos Aires, stayed with her. Years later, as an artist with an international career in opera, she returned to that music from a different place. SUR became a way to reconnect with a part of her identity, and to ask what Piazzolla can mean now, in the voice of a contemporary classical singer.
