Kingshill House Creative Centre is a vibrant community-based charity set in a Grade II* listed Georgian mansion in Dursley.
Our mission is to curate an interesting, educational, fun and diverse programme for the community that is focused on creativity, health and wellbeing. We offer room hire and the House is a great location for events, markets, gigs, training and much more. Revenue raised from venue hire supports our exhibitions, classes and education programmes, helping us bring our vision to an ever-wider audience.
Zubek & Pentz- Piazzolla Duo On the centenary of Astor Piazzolla's birth, Piotr Zubek and Janek Pentz have rediscovered the forgotten songs of this Argentinian composer, bandoneon virtuoso, and tango nuevo pioneer. Innovative, contemporary arrangements combine the finesse of jazz vocal improvisation with the unique sound of an acoustic fingerstyle guitar. In this musical version, these songs take on a completely new sound - they prove that music, although written in a different language and thousands of kilometres from Poland, knows no continents or borders. It is also a meeting with artists who enrich exotic musical material with their own Slavic sensitivity, often playing with sound, improvising, "winking" at the audience. A meeting filled not only with sound, but also with a narrative of editorial precision, anecdote, joke - everything that is so important, especially in times of global uncertainty.
