Planet Tree Music Festival: Carlo Grante

Presenting a programme of both popular contemporary music and world premiere pieces, Planet Tree Music Festival offers listeners a new experience for the enjoyment of classical music in North London. Championing an alternate way of listening, audiences are actively encouraged to lie down and experience the sound worlds in a new way. The stuffy, outdated rules found in traditional concert halls are truly thrown out the window, instead a more accessible experience is offered as a stepping stone to musical enjoyment. The festival’s founder, Lawrence Ball, believes there is a high link between the music that he has programmed and the levels of meditation to be experienced by listening to it. The ninth festival presents an array of world premieres, performed by professional musicians from across the UK and Europe.

Carlo Grante has acquired an enviable reputation as one of Italy’s foremost concert pianists. Here he opens the 2017 festival to include three world premieres by Keith Barnard and Lawrence Ball.
