MacGregor is one of the world's most wide ranging and influential musicmakers. As a concert pianist she has worked with such eminent figures as Pierre Boulez, Sir Simon Rattle and Sir Colin Davis, and has premiered landmark works from Django Bates to John Adams. A restless innovator, she has continued to break down musical barriers throughout her career, including cross-genre collaborations with Brian Eno, Nitin Sawhney and, at this year's London Jazz Festival, virtuoso oud player Dhafer Youssef. Pianist Joanna MacGregor directs Britten Sinfonia in a wide-ranging and innovative programme, including her own arrangements of Dowland’s haunting English songs alongside music from Brazil (Gismonti) and Argentina (Piazzolla), and timeless works by Bach and Stravinsky.
