Enjoy classical noisenights in Liverpool and Birkenhead this spring

A series of special ‘noisenights’ are set to take place in Liverpool and Birkenhead this year.

The noisenights – organised by London-based through the noise CIC – are intimate gigs which aim to take world-leading classical musicians to independent venues.

At the heart of each event is a one-hour classical set featuring international soloists and ensembles as well as offering opportunities to outstanding new artists.

Liverpool’s Invisible Wind Factory is set to host several gigs.

Sidiki Dembélé and friends come to the North Docks venue on Wednesday, March 20, featuring Djembe and kora virtuoso Sidiki Dembélé and percussionist Momo Sangaré.

Berlin’s Vision String Quartet will perform at the same venue on Saturday, April 20.

And on Wednesday, May 8, seven-time Grammy-nominated pianist Omar Sosa joins kora maestro Seckou Keita and master percussionist Gustavo Ovalles for an all-star collaboration – Suba Trio - presenting music inspired by their shared ancestral connection to Africa.

The Quarry in Love Lane will host Her Ensemble on Thursday, April 25.

Meanwhile Future Yard at Birkenhead is the venue for cello–piano duo Raphaela Gromes and Julian Riem on Wednesday, February 14.

The Solem Quartet and Alice Zawadzki appear at the Argyle Street venue on Thursday, March 28 - presenting their latest collaboration, featuring Steve Reich’s Grammy-winning Different Trains for string quartet and tape, and songs by Kate Bush, newly arranged for the ensemble by violinist William Newell.

And acclaimed pianist Pavel Kolesnikov and pianist partner Samson Tsoy arrive on Sunday, May 26, performing Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring arranged for piano four hands alongside a selection of piano duets.

through the noise, founded in 2021 by Jack Crozier and Jack Bazalgette, has a vision to redefine the classical music experience by delivering a unique encounter that merges classical virtuosity with the energy of local, vibrant, non-traditional spaces.
