Cellist Gabriella Swallow (Gwilym Simcock's Quintet, Jess Gillam Ensemble) and clarinettist Giacomo Smith (Kansas Smitty’s House Band) - each a genre-defying force in their own right - join creative forces to explore the rich, complex world of Don Shirley, the virtuoso pianist whose music transcended categorisation and whose story continues to resonate today.
GS x 2 is both a tribute and a reimagining: a journey through Don Shirley’s unexpected textures, punctuated by moments of pure improvisational magic as Swallow and Smith interpret his legacy through cello, clarinet, and ensemble playing.
The show offers a fresh take on crossover artistry, where classical meets jazz and historical homage becomes contemporary expression. From Stravinsky to spirituals, Baroque to bebop, GS x 2 invites audiences to hear familiar sounds in unfamiliar ways.
Join us for what promises to be an evening of cross-genre invention, a musical conversation across time, genre and identity.
