FIVE-TIME Grammy-winning pianist, Bill Laurance will open his new Irish tour in Letterkenny.
The founding member of Snarky Puppy will perform at the Regional Cultural Centre on Sunday, October 18, at 8pm.
The concert offers Donegal audiences the opportunity to experience Laurance’s distinctive musical voice live.
His work draws on jazz, classical music, electronica and groove, bringing together expressive melodies, rhythmic energy and spontaneous improvisation.
It is an invitation for both established jazz fans and listeners discovering his music for the first time.
His latest album, Lumen, has drawn praise from Jazzwise for its “distinct and engaging melodies” and “rich, layered arrangements”.
The record reflects the imaginative approach that has become a hallmark of his solo work.
Presented by Music Network, the concert brings Laurance to Donegal before performances in Dublin, Dún Laoghaire, Naas, Cork and Tralee.
Alongside his career with Snarky Puppy, Laurance has performed with artists including David Crosby, Salif Keita, Laura Mvula, Jacob Collier and Terence Blanchard.
His creative work also extends into dance, with compositions for companies including Alvin Ailey and English National Ballet.
Tickets cost €20, with a concession rate of €18, plus a €2 booking fee per ticket.
