what are noisenights?
noisenights are our vision for the future of classical music: informal crowdfunded events featuring international soloists in bars, converted warehouses, and nightclubs.

Most noisenights feature two short classical sets, one early evening, one late. All tickets to the late set include live music or DJs for the rest of the night, including jazz, latin, afrobeat, swing and funk acts.
This noisenight currently only has one set - but we're ready to add another, dependent on demand.
Live music needs your backing more than ever. Becoming a noisenight backer means getting tickets to hear the world's best performers up close while becoming part of a community working for a positive future for live music.
After a noisenight reaches its funding target, we'll e-mail all backers to confirm it and a small amount of extra tickets will be made available. These tickets are released in three stages, which increase in price the closer to the event they're purchased. Book early to get the best price.
Please note that due to the venue's license, this noisenight is strictly 18+.
the venue:
OSLO is one of London's iconic gig venues. The first of its type to open in the area, it's based in the redeveloped Victorian Hackney railway station.
They've hosted Mumford and Sons, Dua Lipa, and Alabama Shakes, but noisenights were the first classical shows to take over this unique space. We're returning for the first time since a sold-out album launch with fellow Warner Classics artist Fatma Said back in February.
the music:
At this noisenight Thibaut will launch his brand new album, El Bohemio: a tribute to the Paraguayan guitar virtuoso and composer Agustín Barrios. He says:
“Barrios is an essential composer in the guitarist’s repertoire. His music can be described as a skilful mix of South American popular music – inspired by the jungles of Paraguay – and the Romanticism of Chopin and Schumann, composers he idolised.”
The album combines pieces by Barrios with three of his transcriptions of famous pieces by Chopin, Schumann, and Beethoven. It also features readings of two of Barrios’s poems, including 'Bohemio', which honours the Guarani, the indigenous people of Paraquay.
