Cassie Kinoshi is a Mercury Prize-nominated and Ivors Academy Award-winning London-based composer, arranger and alto-saxophonist. As an artist, she performs in her own band SEED Ensemble as well as being a key member of un.procedure (as both performer and co-writer). She is also an in-demand composer for ballet and theatre with production credits including National Theatre (Top Girls), BalletBoyz (Bradley 4:18 and YES), The Old Vic (as part of the Old Vic 12 2016-17) and Battersea Arts Centre (SuperBlackMan).

In 2021, Cassie’s new piece Solaristic Precepts commissioned by London Sinfonietta was premiered as part of the project ‘London Third Stream’ alongside new commissions by Shabaka Hutchings, Laura Jurd and Elliot Galvin for the EFG London Jazz Festival.

We are extremely excited to gain insights into her multi-faceted musical world.
