Curated by trumpet player/composer Laura Jurd, ‘Stepping Back, Jumping In’ is a celebration of new sounds featuring world-class improvisers and contemporary music-makers from Norway and the UK, resulting in a dynamic 14-piece ensemble.

Mercury-nominated band Dinosaur at the core, Jurd invites contemporary string specialists, the Ligeti Quartet, acclaimed Norwegian tuba + electronics duo Heida Mobeck and Anja Lauvdal and British/Iranian composer Soosan Lolavar, plus UK master-improvisers Rob Luft, Raphael Clarkson and Liz Exell to join forces to premiere some brand-new works written specially for the ensemble.
