Poppy Ackroyd
Poppy Ackroyd is a performer and composer from London who is currently based in Edinburgh. Classically trained on violin and piano, she fell in love with contemporary piano music and with the piano beyond the keys, discovering the world of sound that could be made from other parts of the instrument. Realising the violin had the same potential, she has spent the last few years composing delicate, intricate and beautifully atmospheric music by manipulating and multi-tracking sounds from these two instruments.

Charlie Hooper-Williams
Charlie Hooper-Williams is a composer and audiovisual artist combining neoclassical piano music with innovative technology. His performances integrate reactive visuals and generative systems, creating immersive, interactive experiences. Recently, Charlie has been exploring the possibilities of his custom ‘harmonics machine,’ which expands the expressive range of the acoustic piano. His work bridges music, light, and emergent patterns, with recent highlights including performances at Glastonbury Festival and the Battersea Park Fireworks event.
