Iconic Brazilian composer and multi-instrumentalist, Hermeto Pascoal, dubbed by Miles David as “the most impressive musician in the world” embarks on his final UK show at the age of 88.

Since the beginning of his career in his 1950, Hermeto Pascoal has earned multiple accolades, including 2 Latin Grammys, he's globally recognized for pioneering groups like Quarteto Novo and his own "Grupo." A prolific creator with 10,000+ compositions, his unique methods and diverse instruments earned him the title "Sorcerer of Sounds."

Hermeto graces stages worldwide with his Group, the renowned "Nave Mãe" ("Mother Ship"), a platform that propelled the careers of prominent Brazilian instrumentalists like Carlos Malta, Jovino Santos Neto, Nenê, Marcio Bahia, Vinicius Dorin, and Heraldo do Monte. The current lineup includes I6berê Zwarg (bass), Jota P. (saxophones and flutes), Fabio Pascoal (percussion), André Marques (piano), and Ajurinã Zwarg (drums). Together with the "Champion" himself, their performances are an indescribable, unforgettable, and side effect-free sensory experience.
