Join Grammy winner and "national treasure" Bill Cunliffe for a hilarious, interactive musical encounter. Masterclass piano playing melds with sparkling inventiveness and genre-defying wit as Cunliffe moves effortlessly from a tribute to Duke Ellington classics, to time-travelling through classical eras up to the 21st century as JS Bach, before retracing his steps through the jazz ages to the boogie-woogie. And for the grand finale, the audience inspire Cunliffe with their favourite pop, jazz and classical requests, as he improvises an original composition on the spot. Don’t miss this astonishing solo adventure!
