‘An edgy evening with an experimental brief that celebrates Squarepusher every bit as much as Stravinsky’ Evening Standard.
Blank Canvas is a bi-monthly ‘club’ night reputed for its eclectic contemporary classical and experimental music programming, which pays no heed to classical music convention.
This month the night moves to Kings Place Hall 2 as part of their Monday night Out Hear series. Electro-acoustic artist Jon Hopkins performs a special live set and Blank Canvas curator Will Dutta and composer Max de Wardener premiere their new work for piano and live-electronics alongside music by John Adams, György Ligeti and John Richards.
