PRISM Launch Concert

Introducing PRISM: The UK’s newest ensemble dedicated to the performance of contemporary and experimental music.

PRISM seeks to create outstanding performances and memorable experiences. Founded initially as a wind quintet, we look to challenge expectations – pushing the boundaries of performance practice and reaching beyond the core group to form cross-collaborative performances with remarkable creative personalities.

As well as curating adventurous and original programmes, PRISM incorporates into each performance our own improvisations which responds to the core content of the programme.

For PRISM’s Debut performance, we are grateful to be able to perform at Folkore: one of London’s most intimate and best kept live music venues, situated in Hoxton. Join us for a exciting, fun and unique evening which will transport you through all moods and energy levels.
