New Generation Artists at the Britten Studio in Snape: some of the most exciting talents in jazz and classical music come together in a programme celebrating life and rebirth.

The young jazz pianist Fergus McCreadie and his trio play tracks from their album Stream, which has been wowing listeners and audiences since its release earlier this year. With numbers like The Crossing, Mountain Stream, Coastline and Lochan Coire 脌rdair, as one reviewer said, this is, "Awesome music that sings ebbs flows thunders falls and trickles, bringing the landscape of my mind alive like a walk in the glorious mountains of Scotland on a bright Spring day. Take it with you and celebrate life."

Also on the bill is the premiere of Fergus's Life Cycle, written especially for the dynamic Chaos Quartet from Germany, a work which should take on a special resonance amid the reed beds of the Suffolk coast. And, in this meeting of talent, before that Fergus McCreadie and the brilliant Colombian cellist Santiago Ca帽贸n-Valencia explore each other's musical worlds with pieces they've written to play together at Snape. And, before the evening is out, Fergus promises to improvise something inspired by the Suffolk landscape and open skies of Suffolk which have inspired countless musicians over the years.

Presented by Al Ryan from the Britten Studio, Snape.
