Arctic Circle's Daylight Music has, for over fifteen years, become an important part of London’s live music scene, with a weird and wonderful mix of musicians presenting ideas and storytelling in music and sound, alongside delicious cake, in some of the most splendid and iconic venues.
Ell Kendall is a UK sound artist and one of BBC3’s ‘unclassified’ composers. His influences range from avant-garde composers and performance artists to early religious music and ritual. Ell will be joined on stage by a quartet of flute, violin, clarinet and cello, with himself at the piano, performing new material, alongside other works of his musical ‘portrait’ collection.
Zara Hudson-Kozdoj is a Polish-Jamaican cellist, composer and conductor, born and bred in North London. During a recent residency at Studio Richter-Mahr, she recorded her debut album which can be thought of as a soundtrack to her experiences encompassing many genres and styles. Alongside her solo work, Zara is part of Max Richter’s ensemble, Celeste’s band, as well as playing regularly with Chineke! Orchestra and the London Contemporary Orchestra.
Based in London, Rikhil Raithatha is a Bansuri player and instructor trained in Hindustani classical music. He began his journey in 2017 under the guidance of the late Shri Clive Bell and has since studied extensively with renowned artists in India. Rooted in the North Indian tradition, Rikhil shares his music through lessons, live performances and digital projects.
Mike Cranny is a multi-instrumentalist and producer, primarily with his band Firestations, but also in Astronauts, The Leaf Library and Mirrored Daughters, among others. At Daylight, he will be playing ambient experimental electric guitar between the acts, coming from a shoe-gazey/gently psychedelic angle.
