Join us for an evening performance of music created by students on the MFA programme, starting at 6pm in the George Wood Theatre, with sets from Veronica Bianqui, Joaquin Freccia, supported by Lucy Havelock and Pentu, and Jake Object.

Veronica Bianqui will be performing a one-woman rock n roll band solo set - a triple threat as a vocal powerhouse, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, Veronica Bianqui channels the raw energy of garage rock with the passion of classic soul and R&B, all packaged with catchy pop hooks–picture the quirky vibes of early B-52s meeting the indie-pop sensibilities of The Strokes.

A native of Los Angeles, Bianqui cut her teeth in iconic clubs starting at the age of 16. It was within the underground east side music scene that she began to find her true voice. In her live show, Bianqui has a commanding stage presence, owning the stage with both classic showmanship and a heartfelt vulnerability.

Most recently, she is featured on “Wasting Your Time” by Mickey Avalon, produced by Jesse Hughes of Eagles of Death Metal. She has toured as a member of several LA-based bands across the U.S. and Europe. Her past gigs include supporting Kula Shaker in September 2023 at The Regent Theater in LA as well as shared bills with Alex Lahey, The Rubens, Mikal Cronin, The Coathangers, Dead Sara, The Warlocks, Capital Cities, and many other mainstays of the vibrant Los Angeles music scene. In light of this history behind her, it’s easy to see why people come out in droves to see her perform.

Her music hasn’t gone unnoticed by the press either. She’s been lauded as “Pick Of The Week” in LA Weekly and hailed as “One To Watch” on Buzzbands LA. Her songs frequently grace the airwaves of independent tastemaker stations such as KCRW, KCSN and KXLU. All this acclaim speaks to her talent and the magnetism of her music.

Jake Turner, aka Jake Object, debuts his visual album, 'The Shape of an Object'. Since moving to London, the Brooklyn native's practice has fused his talents as a musician and visual artist, creating audiovisual work that often feels like a portal into dream world. From behind his iconic mirrored mask, his originality and willingness to step outside of the generic, shines. 

Jake's recent residency at the Shoreditch venue, Dream Bags Jaguar Shoes, and sold-out homecoming show at NYC's The Bowery Electric, have marked the beginning of his career as a performer. Spitting hot rhymes, and sweet melodies over visionary productions, his style and individuality is a refreshing reminder that music is a precious feeling. His performance of The Shape of an Object sees the artist in the strange world that he has created.
