Following his sold out show at Gorilla last year, Alfa Mist returns to Manchester for a special ‘in the round’ performance at the Royal Exchange Theatre.

Marrying soulful hip-hop with jazz harmony, the pianist and producer’s silk smooth 2019 album Structuralism cemented him as one of the leading lights of London’s flourishing new jazz scene.

His deeply atmospheric music is a great match for the stunning surroundings of the Royal Exchange Theatre, where he’ll perform tracks from Structuralism, as well as his first two equally-great records, Nocturne and Antiphon.
