Oil

Biography

Described by The Times as 'irresistible', Kaleidoscope is an innovative collaboration between four creative young artists: Sally MacTaggart, Guy Passey, Jenni Watson and Alastair Penman. The group's approach is built on the distinct creative personalities of its members, with engaging programmes blending classical and contemporary music. The quartet's work has led to multiple awards and high profile performances at venues such as the Wigmore Hall, Purcell Room and Bridgewater Hall. The quartet's lineup features an array of artistic skills, from award-winning soloists and multi-instrumentalists to innovative composers of music ranging from classical to electronic. Support from organisations such as the Tunnell Trust, Worshipful Company of Musicians and the Park Lane Group has led to performances at the Wigmore Hall and Purcell Room, with the latter concert given a four star review in The Times. The group's debut album Oil, released in 2016 was supported by the City Music Foundation, Hattori Foundation and a Help Musicians Emerging Excellence award. Produced by John Harle, it features music by Gavin Bryars, Jonny Greenwood and Steve Martland as well as superb new pieces by Jenni Watson, John Rittipo-Moore and Oliver Leith, whose track A Day at the Spa won a British Composer Award in 2016 and has been played on Radio 3.
