Saturday Tickets
A Celebration of Keith Tippett
This event has passed.
Tickets to view the livestream of all concerts taking place on Saturday 2 October are now available, as part of the Keith Tippett Celebration weekend.
The livestream can be viewed live, and will then be available to revisit or watch on-demand, until 6pm on Tuesday 5 October 2021.
A packed programme on Saturday takes over St George’s from midday to late night.
Starting with a duo double bill of Matthew Bourne & Glen Leach (the Tippett Bourne 2019 tour was to be Keith’s last) plus Julie Tippetts & Maggie Nicolls. The afternoon concert features Granite to Wind Septet with a stellar line up including Ben Waghorn, James Gardiner-Bateman, and Kevin Figes – all of whom played on the 2011 recording.
Keith had been busy recruiting this line-up, with him as pianist, for a gig that was to be scheduled to play a benefit for Louis Moholo in Bath on 14 June 2020 – sadly to be the day on which he died. Paired with Dreamtime the concert reflects Keith’s strong international connections, not least with exiled musicians from South Africa. The closing concert opens with Keith’s long term Mujician collaborators; Paul Dunmall and Paul Rogers, and culminates in an extremely special tribute, The Keith Tippett Celebration Orchestra.
