About
Saxophonist and composer Trish Clowes has been described as “an improviser to be reckoned with” (Downbeat Magazine) and “one of the most agile and original jugglers of improv and adventurous composition to have appeared in the UK in recent times” (The Guardian). Notable career performances include the NDR Concert Hall (Hanover), Barbican, Toronto Jazz Festival, Rochester International Jazz Festival (US), Royal Festival Hall, Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, Wigmore Hall (where she is currently an Associate Artist), Celtic Connections (with BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra), Women in (e)motion Festival (Germany), National Opera House (Ireland), Galway Jazz Festival, Karlsruhe Jazz Festival, and broadcasts for BBC 2 Proms Extra, BBC Radio 3, NDR (Germany), and Radio Bremen. In May 2024, Clowes played a short run of dates in the UK & Ireland with US trumpeter Dave Douglas, presenting compositions for a new quintet EYES UP, appearing at London’s Pizza Express Jazz Club in Soho, Cheltenham Jazz Festival, and Bray Jazz Festival. In November 2024, Clowes guested with the NDR Big Band for three performances in Hamburg & Hanover, performing a set of new compositions entitled ‘Radiant Resistance’.
