The London Philharmonic Orchestra's Renga Ensemble at the Vortex Jazz Club with Tim Garland, Nikki Iles and Stan Sulzmann.
Conducted by Scott Stroman

Members of the London Philharmonic Orchestra’s Renga ensemble perform original music with renowned jazz musicians Tim Garland, Nikki Iles & Stan Sulzmann - under the leadership of Scott Stroman.

The Renga ensemble is a group of highly trained classical musicians from the Orchestra who work with performers and composers from outside the classical mainstream. Under Scott Stroman, the group has developed into a well respected performance ensemble in its own right. Its repertoire covers music with influences from Latin, Indian and African styles and has recently included the UK première of Miles Davis’ ‘The Birth of the Cool’ and a performance with the Karnatic College of Percussion.

Pianist Nikki Iles and Saxophonists Tim Garland and Stan Sulzmann rank amongst the most respected jazz musicians in UK today. They frequently perform together and are well known for their work outside of the jazz scene. Amongst them they have formed novel new ensembles, worked with theatre and arts groups and composed for leading orchestras – alongside playing with their own groups.
