16 and 17 May THE BLACK SAINT AND THE SINNER LADY, Brighton Dome Corn Exchange, Brighton

Part of Brighton Festival 2026. Celebrate the sensuality and power of jazz. Share the floor with a company of outstanding dancers and a 12-piece live band as Clod Ensemble and Nu Civilisation Orchestra join together to present Charles Mingus’ iconic 1963 masterpiece, The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady, widely considered to be one of the greatest records of all time. Lose yourself in the music, get up and dance or take a seat and soak up the atmosphere with a drink. Everyone, including wallflowers, is welcome.

‘A joyful celebration of movement […] it’s a delight to be caught up in it, swept up in a wave with the simple pleasure of synchrony, community and great music.’ The Guardian
