Porta's Listen...The Monocle Summer Series





The
MONOCLE Summer Series

To ease into the summer Monocle has developed a brand new audio show featuring
live music and cultural insights from our favourite cities





To kick off your summer weekends in the mountains, on the Med or upstate, Monocle has developed a brand new audio show featuring live music and cultural insights from our favourite cities. The launch edition of the Monocle Summer Series comes to you from London with two of the capital's most innovative cultural thinkers joining us in the studio. Julia Peyton-Jones OBE discusses the artistic landscape of the city ahead of a groundbreaking summer programme at the Serpentine Gallery. Alessandro Cajrati Crivelli, celebrated urban planner and property developer, is on hand to give insights into the changing face of London and exciting projects in Europe. We have also flown in some great musical talent from Stockholm in the form of Quiet Nights Orchestra, who will be performing their best tunes for our panel, which includes editor Andrew Tuck, culture editor Robert Bound and our editor in chief, Tyler Brûlé

THE BAND
QUIET NIGHTS ORCHESTRA

The Quiet Nights Orchestra is an eight-piece Swedish jazz group who met at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm. Originally formed as a sextet by trombonist and band-leader Peter Fredriksson, extra percussion and Sophie Norling's sweeping vocals were later added to complete their unique and uplifting sound that exemplifies the very best of the Nordic jazz tradition. Their debut album Chapter One is out now and features a selection of original instrumental and vocal pieces.
You can find out more about the Quiet Nights Orchestra here and you can buy their debut album - Chaper One - in our London and Palma shops.
