MAHRAJAZZ - ELLIOT GALVIN

Elliot Galvin is one of the rising stars of UK jazz. A superbly gifted composer and pianist, with a maverick imagination and magpie like ability to blend a disparate world of influences into his own unique musical vision. From de-constructing standards to creating his own mirco-tonal melodica, Galvin’s music is both playful and deadly serious, drawing on a wide range of influences. Elliot is a prolific composer and has been comissioned by a number of Ensembles, Dance Companies, Theatre Groups and Festivals. He works regularly with multi-media and in 2014 put on a multi-media installation piece at the Turner Contemporary Gallery, which consisted of live performance, interactive sound sculptures and film. He also runs a multi-disciplinary theatre-music ensemble called the Vanderbilts. But his main artistic vehicle is the Elliot Galvin Trio.
