IVO Neame is a forward thinking and innovative pianist, composer and multi-instrumentalist.

Since leaving the Royal Academy of Music in 2003, he has gone on to perform and record with highly regarded musicians and has played on more than 40 albums.

Neame, who is considered to be a musician of exceptional ability, has developed a reputation as one of the most exciting and original pianists to emerge in recent times.

Well known as the pianist with Phronesis and with Norwegian saxophonist Marius Neset, his most recent release 'Strata', has seen him reach new heights as a composer leading a quintet in a set of exuberant and creative originals.

He is now touring the UK with Tori Freestone (saxes/flutes), Jim Hart (vibraphone), Huw Williams (bass) and Dave Hamblett (drums) and will perform at the Arena Theatre in Wolverhampton on Saturday September 24.
