Spoken word meets the thrilling sound of an orchestra as an extraordinary line-up of poets join forces with the BBC Symphony Orchestra for an unmissable evening at Hackney Empire.
Had a great time collaborating with the poet Keith Jarrett, composing an orchestral score to accompany his new poem. Concert tomorrow at @HackneyEmpire with @BBCSO.
