BRIGHTON & HOVE PREMIERE PERFORMANCE

We are thrilled to present the first-ever Brighton & Hove performance by one of the most listened-to living pianists in the world today, Joep Beving.

In an astoundingly short amount of time, this incredibly gifted artist has found himself topping the Spotify charts, with over 300 million streams, and more than two million monthly listeners. Joep describes his minimalist and contemplative style as "accessible music for complex emotions". In an overcrowded music space, he has created a unique and recognisable voice that swims between classical, pop and avant-garde - with massive appeal.

Whilst Joep normally performs solo, for this concert he’ll be joining forces with cellist Maarten Vos to perform their first collaborative album, vision of contentment, live on stage at TOM - making full use of our gorgeous venue acoustics. This is a special collaboration between the two critically acclaimed artists, as the performance is a tribute to Joep's late manager, Mark Brounen.

The new album follows their works on 2019’s Henosis, Beving’s third album, after the two musicians shared a bill in Amsterdam in 2018. It’s preceded by a single, 02:07, which is out now. Vos considers the haunting sounds of vision of contentment "a sonic landscape that encourages imaginative exploration". Beving, meanwhile, says he intends to leave listeners with a simple sense of love, adding that he hopes it will also enable "a search for harmony and understanding". Support TBC.
