​An intimate journey into the heart of solo piano

Following the resounding success of their inaugural year, the MIE Jazz Piano Series returns for its second season - this time as the Autumn 2025 Jazz Piano Series.  Set once again in the enchanting surroundings of the 1901 Arts Club in Waterloo, this series invites you to experience the art of solo jazz piano like never before.

This year, we welcome the internationally acclaimed virtuoso Gwilym Simcock,  the evocative, genre-defying Alcyona Mick and the richly expressive Terence Collie.  Each artist will perform an intimate solo set, exploring the full sonic potential of the Club’s magnificent Steinway Model C grand piano - all within the warm, salon-style ambience of this beautifully restored Edwardian building.

With only a limited number of seats available, every concert promises a deeply personal connection between artist and audience - a rare opportunity to witness these outstanding musicians up close, immersed in their craft.  Whether you're a lifelong jazz enthusiast or a curious newcomer, the Autumn 2025 Jazz Piano Series offers a spellbinding journey into the soul of the music.

Join us this autumn for an unforgettable celebration of creativity, virtuosity, and the timeless allure of solo piano.

"mesmerising"
​Jazzwise

Acclaimed pianist and composer Terence Collie brings his signature blend of lyrical sensitivity, harmonic sophistication, and jazz-rooted imagination to a special solo performance at 1901 Arts Club this September.  Known for his dynamic versatility across solo, trio, and larger ensemble settings, Collie’s artistry has earned him a respected place on the UK jazz scene, captivating audiences with both his original works and fresh interpretations of classic standards.

Following the recent release of his celebrated album Elements, this solo concert offers a rare opportunity to experience his unaccompanied, intimate musical voice, where every nuance and subtlety is bare. 

Beyond his performances, Collie is a vital force in the British jazz community.  He is not only a prolific performer but also a mentor, organiser, and advocate for the music, frequently curating and supporting jazz events across the country. 

At 1901 Arts Club, Collie will present a programme that spans new original compositions, selections from Elements, reinterpretations of pieces from his previous albums Reminiscent and 384,400, and spontaneous improvisations crafted in the moment.  The evening promises an immersive journey into the heart of a pianist who continues to shape his own narrative while honouring the great traditions of the art form.

GWILYM SIMCOCK piano

Concert  ticket

£40

“Gwilym’s an original. A creative genius”  Chick Corea

Gwilym Simcock has carved out a career as one of the most gifted pianists and imaginative composers on the European scene.  He moves effortlessly between jazz and classical music, with a ‘harmonic sophistication and subtle dovetailing of musical traditions’.  Gwilym has been hailed as a pianist of ‘exceptional’, ‘brilliant’ and ‘dazzling’ ability, and his music has been widely acclaimed as ‘engaging, exciting, often unexpected, melodically enthralling, complex yet hugely accessible’, and above all ‘wonderfully optimistic’.

Gwilym’s influences are wide ranging, from jazz legends including Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea, Jaco Pastorius and Pat Metheny, to classical composers including Maurice Ravel, Henri Dutilleux, Béla Bartók and Mark-Anthony Turnage.  Although principally a jazz artist, Gwilym has composed numerous works for larger Classical ensemble that combine through-composed elements with improvisation, creating a sound that is distinctive and very much his own.

In the last few years, Gwilym has become renowned for his solo performances, releasing a critically acclaimed album Good Days at Schloss Elmau in 2011 and touring throughout Europe and to places as far afield as Australia, the USA, Canada, Korea and China to name but a few.
