LEEDS LUNCHTIME CHAMBER MUSIC 24/25

Relaxed performance:

Royal Birmingham Conservatoire

Juniper

Emily Hicks – flute
Dominic O’Sullivan – whistles, flutes, clarinet
Aidan Hammond – percussion
Anna Emslie – violin
Rob Roberts – electric bass, acoustic guitar

Genre-bending, energising, mesmerising, boundary-crossing… Juniper are a group of close friends who combine their collective musical influences on the stage to create a show full of bold, intriguing traditional and contemporary sounds.

They draw in their listeners with driving riffs, joyous tunes, and intricate textures and contrast this by stripping back the sound world, returning to their roots of listening to and playing folk music with mesmerisingly delicate and intimate arrangements.

Approximately 50 minutes without interval

Relaxed performances are for everyone.
They’re designed to especially welcome all who might benefit from a more relaxed environment, including people who are neurodivergent, have sensory and communication impairments, dementia, or any disabilities.

During relaxed concerts lights stay up, the doors remain open, and contrasts of volume are lessened. Audience members may leave and enter the auditorium as needed, move freely, and respond to music as they feel.

Relaxed performances this season take place on 30 October, 15 January, and 19 February.
