Tori Freestone and Alcyona Mick Duo

Two richly-experienced improvisers come together in a musical conversation blessed with intuitive spontaneity and sharply-honed musical understanding.

Tori Freestone on saxes and Acyona Mick on piano are both much in demand on the UK jazz scene; their respective approaches share a whole range of influences outside jazz as well, including folk, Brazilian and Arabic music, and silent film. Together, in this acoustic set – perfect for St George’s – the award-winning duo build a sparkling dialogue full of melodic surprise, improvisatory elan and lavish emotional heft.

‘Saxophonist Tori Freestone and pianist Alcyona Mick have often shared a stage in A-list UK bands, but as an unaccompanied duo they stir a rare mix of jazz and folk music, wit and improvised sharpness’ JOHN FORDHAM, THE GUARDIAN
