“Naissance” is the new project from the duo of Britain’s leading jazz/classical musicians Jon Lloyd (saxophone) and John Law (piano).

The music spans classical, jazz, ambient and subtle textural samples and will engage audiences from all tastes. Both are musicians and composers with more that 50 recordings to their names and performance credits demonstrating long associations with many of the leading players in the British contemporary music and jazz firmament– Tim Garland, Jason Rebello, Evan Parker, Barry Guy and the London Sinfonietta.

Their most recent project which was performed live in Cornwall was the ambient work “Renaissance” – an improvised work using looping derived from sacred vocal texts with live visuals designed by Patrick Dunn (of Tangerine Dream fame) and which was performed in Truro Cathedral in 2023. This new project “Naissance” will also use the warm and vibrant ambience of visually stunning and reverberant church spaces but on a much more intimate level. This performance takes place in the tranquil, waterside Norman church of St Just in Roseland which is set in what was described by Sir John Betjeman as “ to many people the most beautiful churchyard on earth”

This performance of Naissance takes place appropriately just before Christmas – it will feature a new composition based on the wonderful ancient Advent Hymn “Veni, veni Emmanuel” (Oh Come Oh Come Emmanuel) and audiences of all ages are invited to come and immerse themselves in music that is both contemplative and inspiring.
