At the centre of every noisenight is a 60-80 minute classical set. We platform international soloists and ensembles while also giving opportunities to outstanding new artists. All noisenights take place in gig venues where you get to experience classical music up close.
Live music needs your backing more than ever. Backing a noisenight means getting tickets to hear the world's best performers in grassroots venues and being part of a community working for a positive future for live music. To put it simply, you giving your backing will make this gig happen and secure you a ticket.
After a noisenight reaches its funding target, we e-mail all backers to confirm that it’s going ahead and a small amount of extra tickets will be made available. Tickets are released in four stages, which increase in price the closer to the event they're purchased. Book early to get the best price.
Please note that all tickets to this noisenight are standing by default. If you have specific access requirements please get in touch prior to purchasing your ticket here. Due to the venue's license, this event is strictly 18+.
joseph tawadros
Cairo-born, 8-time ARIA-award winner Joseph Tawadros is one of the world’s masters of his chosen instrument, the oud - an Arabic lute-type fretless stringed instrument, the ancestor of the Western lute and modern guitar.
A virtuoso of diversity and sensitivity, Joseph performs in concert halls worldwide and is known for his brilliant technique, deep musicianship, storytelling and joyous style of performance. For this rare solo performance in the UK, Joseph will present an exciting programme of original music. His compositions draw inspiration from the Arabic modal system (maqam) and blend it seamlessly with elements of Western classical, jazz, world, folk, and even metal and bluegrass.
Ranging from thrilling, furiously paced numbers to beautifully introspective and tranquil pieces, the program is woven together by Joseph’s trademark lyricism and the striking contemporary musicality of his oud.
oslo hackney
OSLO is one of London's iconic grassroots gig venues. The first of its type to open in the area, it's based in the redeveloped Victorian ticket office of the former Hackney railway station.
They've hosted Mumford and Sons, Dua Lipa, and Alabama Shakes, but noisenights were the first classical shows to take over this unique space. We're returning again after four years of sold out shows.
