Presented in collaboration with Jazz Is Dead and ArtDontSleep

Adrian Younge isn’t just a composer—he’s a sonic architect, a time traveler weaving together past and future through lush, cinematic soundscapes. An Emmy-winning composer, he’s shaped the sound of modern music, whether scoring the cult classic Black Dynamite, crafting dusty soul loops for Wu-Tang Clan and Kendrick Lamar, or reshaping jazz history with Jazz Is Dead. His work pulses with deep intention, blending the raw grit of vintage soul with the grandeur of orchestral arrangements. Now, he’s bringing his most ambitious project yet—Something About April III—to life with a 35-piece orchestra and special guests, performing not just the new album but also selections from the first two volumes of the April trilogy. A decade and a half in the making, this final installment cements Younge’s legacy as a leading expert of psychedelic soul and orchestral storytelling. Kicking off the night is none other than J.Rocc, founder of the legendary Beat Junkies, setting the tone with an opening DJ set. This is more than a concert—it’s a moment in music history. Be there to witness it first.
