Adventures in Motion Pictures

Lilian Baylis Theatre

Pharoah Sanders

Wicked US sax player and his equally flexible rhythm section. If you use jazz clubs as your reason for putting up with London but rarely go, you should make the effort for Sanders - tonight, Wednesday and twice on Thursday.

Dingwalls (Camden Jongleurs)

Chilingirian Quartet

Final concert in the International Chamber Music Series with strong serious foursome playing Mozart (Hoffmeister quartet, K 499 in D), Beethoven (E flat, The Harp) and Shostakovich (G minor Piano Quintet with Vladimir Ovchinikov). Queen Elizabeth Hall
