Saxophonist, flautist and violinist Tori Freestone, who has toured all over the country and is recognised as being at the forefront of the improvised music scene, will be performing at the Fisher Theatre in Bungay, on Saturday, February 4.
This year got off to a great start for Tori, as she was awarded a prize in the PRS for Music jazz composition category at the Arts Foundation Awards.
She is known for her robust tenor sound and melodic invention, as well as an ability to amalgamate into a variety of styles and musical contexts while maintaining her personal and distinct voice.
As a composer her writing balances with playfulness while exploring new ways to blur the lines between the written and improvised.
Tori promises her tour will feature some of her new compositions. Tickets are £10 and £8 for concessions.
