Roger Eno will be returning to London to showcase his Deutsche Grammophon trilogy of albums off the back of his most recent, ’Without Wind, Without Air’ on Wednesday 9th September at Union Chapel. This is the first time he has played the UK since 2024’s sold out performance at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall. Released late last year, ’Without Wind, Without Air’ comprises of solo piano pieces and tracks orchestrated for various combinations of clarinet, guitar, bass, strings, synths, percussion and electronics.
Interpreting these tracks for live audiences, Roger will be accompanied by his daughter Cecily on vocals and Alexander Glückmann on reeds, who have both appeared on all three albums. Roger’s atmospheric photography, a feature of his live shows, will once again lend to a cinematic experience. ‘Without Wind, Without Air’ ponders on the transience of life, and as a result the music’s stirring nature has been roundly lauded as Eno's most striking work to date.'
