Artist bio
Poppy Ackroyd is a composer from London, currently based in Brighton. Classically trained on violin and piano, she makes music by manipulating and multi-tracking sounds from just these two instruments.
Her debut ‘Escapement’ was released in December 2012 by Denovali Records and a DVD – ‘Escapement Visualised’ – featuring bespoke visuals by Lumen for each track on the album, was released in September 2014.
‘Feathers’, her second album, was released in November 2014, and builds on the concept behind her debut, with most of the sounds again coming from the violin and the piano, however this time the tracks also feature other keyboard and string instruments.
Poppy is also a member of Hidden Orchestra (Tru Thoughts Recordings).

What fans are saying
Three excellent skilled pianists who exhibited very different musical styles. The atmosphere was fantastic, the venue great. The overall package very repeatable. There is life yet in the post-classical genre. Lets hope they get the support they deserve
