An innovative pop-up art show is coming to Luton on the day of the Autumnal equinox - set against the historical interiors of St. Mary’s church in Luton town centre. Featuring acoustic performances by acclaimed British and international free improvisers, many of whom members of the longest running improvised event Mopomoso, established by the late John Russell, as well as several Luton’s improvisers.

The free spirited, musical performances using a variety of classical, improvised and electronic instruments will be accompanied by a display of ceramic and photographic work by Luton and Hertfordshire artists: Faye Munroe, Claire Davies and Anna Fairchild and interwoven by screenings of short films and animations by film-makers both local and international.
