What’s on this 2025-26 season
Acoustic Triangle
Maidment Building, Shrewsbury School
Tim Garland, saxes & bass clarinet; Malcolm Creese, double bass; Gwilym Simcock, piano.
Acoustic Triangle's music contains a wide variety of influences – from ancient themes and folk styles through impressionism and the jazz era to the avant-garde – and blurs the perceived boundaries between genres. Their individual careers have taken them all over the globe; as an ensemble, they are known as one of the most original and respected British groups, always performing without amplification.
They are widely known for their site-specific works, particularly in sacred buildings. Much of the group's repertoire is specially composed by Tim Garland and Gwilym Simcock, but it also includes music by Kenny Wheeler, John Taylor, Bill Evans, Olivier Messiaen and Maurice Ravel.
