Since forming their duo in 2016, saxophonist Huw Wiggin and harpist Oliver Wass have continued to develop and refine their programmes of music for this unusual pairing of instruments. Huw and Oliver have developed a reputation as warm communicators who draw audiences into their intimate and engaging performances.

“A seemingly unlikely combination that works real magic” is how composer Robert Hugill reviewed a CD performance of saxophonist Huw Wiggin and harpist Oliver Wass. From Bach to Debussy to more modern composers this duo plays with a delicacy and verve that will have listeners hearing familiar music in a new way.

Tonight’s programme will include a range of different works from Bach, Couperin and Purcell through to Einaudi and Bernstein, all carefully curated and arranged for this beguiling pairing of instruments.
