The concert is part of the PRS for Music's New Music Biennial an initiative which builds on the success of their 2012 Olympic programme New Music 20x12 and every two years aims to provide a platform for talented organisations and music creators who are pushing the boundaries of new music in the UK
Simock studied jazz piano at the Royal Academy of Music, receiving the Principal's Prize for Outstanding Achievement. He was the first jazz musician to be selected for the BBC Young Generation Artists scheme, and his piano concerto Progressions was commissioned for the 2008 Proms and premiered by the BBC Concert Orchestra.
