Brighton Lights: What to do in the city – w/c Tuesday 25th April

Music & Entertainment with Joe Fuller

1-2

1 I’m excited about both Blanck Mass & support act Pharmakon in this gig. Formerly one half of F*** Buttons, Blanck Mass is Benjamin John Power. who distills the spirit of black metal into experimental dance music to stunning effect in recent album ‘World Eater’. Pharmakon meanwhile is a blistering noise act by Margaret Chardiet, who has supported Swans in the past.
The Haunt, 26 April, 7pm, £12.50

2 The Romantic era of classical music is possibly my favourite epoch, with bold, sweeping emotions and enveloping melodies in striking pieces. The London Philharmonic Orchestra are performing Sibelius’ Valse Triste, Tchaikovsky’s Pathetique Symphony and Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 in a thrilling bill.
