Efg London Jazz Festival -Vangelis Albedo 0.39

A concert by the Greek composer Vangelis, presented within the EFG London Jazz Festival at Queen Elizabeth Hall on London's South Bank. It draws on a catalogue built largely around synthesisers and electronic textures.

Vangelis is a Greek composer and keyboard player who has worked mainly with synthesisers and electronic textures since the 1970s. Among the best-known works are the score for Chariots of Fire (1981), which won an Academy Award for best original score, and the soundtrack for Blade Runner (1982). The concert title refers to Albedo 0.39, a 1976 album from the same body of work.

Presented within the EFG London Jazz Festival, the evening places this electronic repertoire in a programme built around jazz and improvised music.

Queen Elizabeth Hall is one of the venues of the Southbank Centre on London's South Bank, and it hosts concerts and shows. The evening suits listeners interested in Vangelis's synthesiser-based music and in the festival's wider jazz programme.
