African Eye to the Sun: African-Jazz Fusion

REGEN onstage are a high wire act of bebop idiosyncrasies with a pounding african rhythm section, each musician bringing elements of their traditional cultures from Angola, Nigeria, Korea, Jamaica, Togo and beyond, the band manufactures bouncing rhythmical bombs: expect improvisational explosions of sound and polyrhythms to move to.

Grand Union Orchestra is a music-led charity that brings together world-class artists and diverse communities to create powerful, socially engaged work through collaborative, cross-cultural music performances. We unite young and experienced musicians in a shared space to explore intercultural music traditions, improvisation, and collaboration, creating a new musical language that inspires, motivates, and envisions a more hopeful future.

Founded in 1982 by composer Tony Haynes, Grand Union brings together world-class musicians from over 40 global traditions to create original music that reflects contemporary life and challenges inequality. Through large-scale productions, recordings, and educational programmes, we celebrate cultural heritage while empowering new generations of artists.
