Stian Larsen (NO) live @ The Black Gate Cultural Centre
At a glance
About this event
Stian Larsen (guitar) encapsulates every aspect of the diverse musical landscape that exists in Norway today.
With his finger in many vastly differing musical pies, on any given day you might find him at the forefront of contemporary improvised music in the form of his duo KÖök or in the studio with Need Music producing Norway’s next “top-twenty” hit song. One thing that sits at the core of every one of Larsen’s musical endeavours is an unwavering, relentless pursuit of his musical truth regardless of genre.
In the spirit of this pursuit and his first love, Jazz and Improvised Music, Larsen brings this yearning for the new and unknown to the shores of Ireland, yet untouched by him. Who better to provide a representation of what Ireland has to offer his musical tastebuds than 3 musicians who have a strong musical relationship with each other and who themselves manage to stay immersed in all that is Irish Improvised Music; Derek Whyte (Double Bass), Matthew Jacobson (Drums), and Chris Engel (Saxophones). Join them and participate in a melding of the musical hearts and minds on the Irish debut of this new project.

With music, literature, art, film, dance, and learning, we will create a home for the artist and a haven for art lovers. This will be a place to enjoy. Both for the events that happen here or for the atmosphere. Whether listening to a concert, watching a film, listening to a speaker, enjoying reading a book in the library with a coffee or a glass of wine, or having a good night with old friends, we will welcome you, we will look after you, and we will entertain you.
