Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek has come to epitomise the sound of ECM, the record label he's called home since the early 70s, with his atmospheric and quietly intense tone, and his textural - almost sculptural - explorations of austere severity and melodic warmth. Expect sounds both timeless and modern, ethereal and earthy from this defining voice in European jazz.

Directed by Peter Brook, this new play describes the real life and teachings of the Sufi sage Tierno Bokar, a humble and extraordinary man. Set in the 1930s in French-occupied Mali, the story begins with a disagreement over whether a prayer should be recited 11 or 12 times. Sensing tensions, the French colonialists take the opportunity to affront the Muslims, leading to bloodshed and martyrdom. '11 & 12' asks how religious communities can accommodate doctrinal disputes and be a positive force rather than a catalyst for conflict. It addresses society's concerns about violence and is a moving appeal for tolerance, understanding and acceptance of difference.

In Duke Theseus' court, Athenian law prevails, but in the forest Oberon and Titania hold sway and while they quarrel, nature, love and even theatre are in chaos. In Shakespeare's action-packed comedy of enchantment, lovers entangle, fairies make mischief and Peter Quince attempts tragedy with his company of actors but raises more laughter.
