Formed in 1998, the Doric Quartet performs here for the sixth time in Leamington Music’s eighteen years. These audience favourites bring us something new on this visit in the form of Swedish composer Andrea Tarrodi’s Third Quartet – written in 2014 for the Brodsky Quartet and inspired by the play of light on glass, it sits comfortably here with Beethoven’s last two quartets which are arguably some of the greatest compositions of all time.

London-based piano player David Kofi and his band perform
live in the Elgar Room.

Seamlessly blending his gospel roots with contemporary jazz
mastery, his musical journey is marked by impactful EPs, including Kokoro and Kokoro II, inspired by the Japanese
concept of heart, soul, and mind.

Collaborating with James Mollison of Ezra Collective, David
continues to redefine musical boundaries. A pivotal moment in his career was
performing to a sold-out audience at his last Elgar Room show last year, which
led to the release of his EP Live at Late Night Jazz Royal Albert Hall.

His music has gained airplay on prominent radio stations such as
Times Radio, Soho Radio, and Jazz FM. David’s influence in the music world also
earned him a feature in the summer 2023 edition of the Musicians’ Union
magazine.

David will be performing songs from his upcoming EP, set for
release in autumn 2024.

Celebrated for their unique, soulful and virtuosic vocal
harmonies, London-based vocal trio Flight Call have gained recognition as one of the
UK’s freshest new jazz groups.

Comprising of award winning singers Georgia Cécile (Jazz FM Artist of the
Year), Lucy-Anne Daniels and Pete Horsfall, the trio showcase their love and passion for jazz, soul and
gospel in their inspired original arrangements.

Flight Call have performed at legendary venues including London’s
100 Club, the Cheltenham Jazz Festival and the Royal Albert Hall.

With influences ranging from 60s soul-jazz legends Les McCann and
Andy Bey to the deep funky sounds of D’Angelo and James Brown, the group bring
youthful vitality to the jazz scene with their sophisticated blending of three
powerful voices with storytelling at the heart of what they do.
