John Zorn

At the age of 61, the composer is still touring around with his avant garde, experimental sound which bends conventions of the classical yet the way Zorn performs is so masterful that the audience are completely engaged throughout his shows.
The multi-instrumentalist crosses various genres when performing ranging from jazz, blues and classical as he believes all variations of music are 'organically connected'. His set lists draw from his incredibly interesting career including works with his punk jazz group Naked City and the klezmer-influenced Masada, which he seems to really enjoy playing onstage. Along with the majestic music he composed for film and TV, which is beautifully recreated onstage by Zorn and his personal phenomenal band and the various musicians he invites to perform tracks with him.
For those who enjoy the classical, yet also the unconventional, John Zorn is a master in his field. His musical influence and vast array of work will be studied and admired in years to come so take your chance to see a piece of living history.
