Lots of people have an emo phase, Dan Thorpe’s just lasted a bit longer.
It’s his thirtieth birthday, he’s a concert pianist, but he still just wants to shred sad, queer bangers. Join Forest Collective and piano maverick Dan for a night of high-energy, genre-defying music for piano and ensemble, revisiting repertoire from the last ten years of his career, plus world premiere concerti by Cat Hope and Dan himself.
