Pianist Tom Borrow has earned international attention since his breakthrough performance with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra in 2019, when, with just 36 hours’ notice, he stepped in for Khatia Buniatishvili in a 12-concert tour performing Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G. Born in Tel Aviv and a protégé of Murray Perahia, Borrow has since appeared with leading orchestras around the world, including the London Philharmonic Orchestra, BBC Symphony Orchestra, Cleveland Orchestra, and NHK Symphony Orchestra, while giving recitals at renowned venues and festivals such as the BBC Proms, Wigmore Hall, and the Concertgebouw.
Praised for playing that is “both light and powerful,” Borrow combines technical brilliance with remarkable musical insight, making every performance both compelling and memorable.

The Naghash Ensemble combines the earthy spirituality of Armenian folk song, new classical music, and contemporary post-minimalism with the energy of rock and jazz. Three brilliant female vocalists and some of Armenia’s finest instrumentalists on duduk, oud, dhol, and piano play captivating new music based on sacred texts by the medieval Armenian mystic poet and priest Mkrtich Naghash.
Written by Armenian-American composer John Hodian, The Naghash Ensemble’s “Songs of Exile” is a meditation on man’s relationship to God from the perspective of a monk forced to live in exile for many years.
“An enchanting elixir of sounds based on new Armenian folk and centuries-old poetry.” – KEXP“A moment of grace and meditation.” – Rolling Stone

The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain has achieved—almost by accident—international critical acclaim as the most entertaining pluckers in the world.
Somewhere between punk and classical sensibilities and between serious musicianship and restrained British humour, their forty-year career has taken them to Carnegie Hall, Glastonbury festival, the North Pole, China, Japan, Australia, the USA and Canada, winning hordes of friends, fans and imitators along the way.
Born of a rejection of convention and a penchant for radical reinterpretation of familiar songs, their catalogue is a cocktail cabinet of rock, pop, jazz, blues and classical music, performed with dry wit and a flair for truly original toe-tapping, roof-raising renditions. A happy blend of the not-too-silly and the not-too-serious.
With fans ranging from the late Queen and the current King of England to David Bowie and beyond, the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain are unmissable.
