Join us on 4th June for small room session #12!
We are back at it again with small room session number 12! We are stoked to be hosting two brilliant multifaceted performers this month: the amazing recorder player and basoonist Lizzie Knatt, and The Listening Project’s very own Jack Jones on trumpet, electric guitar, and electronics.
All of this will be taking place in Little Nan's 2.0, just minutes away from Deptford Station.

Recorder player and baroque bassoonist Lizzie Knatt’s work spans the realms of both old and new music, drawing connections between these differing worlds through creative programming, collaboration, and exploring the role of “historical” instruments in unusual chamber partnerships.
A particular interest in working with composers has allowed Lizzie to generate a body of innovative repertoire over the past few years. Recent highlights include premieres at Bloomsbury Festival and ORDA Amsterdam, performances and workshops as Young Artist in Association of the Deal Festival 2024, and a recording of Brian Inglis’ ‘Études de Concert’ for the KAIROS label.
Lizzie is also an accomplished interpreter of early music, regularly performing with recorder quartet Follia 4 and other period instrument groups around the UK. Lizzie is a graduate of the Royal Academy of Music, London, where she studied recorder with Anna Stegmann and baroque bassoon with Peter Whelan and Andy Watts.

Jack is a trumpet player and artistic director from Reading, England. A multi-faceted musician, he is equally comfortable playing in orchestras, chamber music settings, contemporary music, experimental music, popular music, commercial music, recordings and Film + TV. More recently, he has been exploring a practice as a composer/performer. His practice occupies the intersection between popular music culture, experimentation, improvisation and community. Whilst predominantly a brass player, his envelope has reached a wider calling in the past 18 months, pollinating across experimental electric guitar, modular synthesis, electronic music and drones.
Much of Jack’s performance is motivated by connecting with other people, whether other musicians, artists, practitioners or communities as a whole. He believes that in an age where accountability is being rightly placed on industries and institutions to be more representative of modern society, it is a no-brainer that to diversify our art form, we need to prioritise performing music by living composers, in new innovative ways, to all kinds of audiences in more imaginative venues.
He has taken part as a performer in the Darmstadt Ferienkurse in Germany, Chosen Vale Centre for Advanced Music Studies in the USA and St. Endellion Festival in Cornwall, England.
