L’Antidote + Naïssam Jalal & Roberto Negro
- BOOKING OPENS FRIDAY 17 JULY, 10AM
An evening of breathtaking musical journeys, bringing together two acclaimed projects from L’Antidote + Naïssam Jalal & Roberto Negro that explore the restorative power of sound.
L’Antidote unites three exceptional musicians: Iranian percussion virtuoso Bijan Chemirani, Albanian cellist Redi Hasa, and Lebanese pianist Rami Khalifé. Blending Persian rhythms, Mediterranean traditions, contemporary classical music and jazz, the trio creates a richly textured instrumental sound world. Conceived during the pandemic and recorded in southern Italy, L’Antidote is a deeply expressive work that offers music as a source of healing, beauty and hope in turbulent times.
The second half of the evening features Naïssam Jalal and Roberto Negro performing Landscapes of Eternity. Inspired by Jalal’s travels through North India, the project explores the profound connections between music, nature and spirituality found in the Hindustani tradition. In this intimate duo, Jalal’s expressive flute and Negro’s sensitive piano create a contemplative, immersive performance that invites audiences into a world of stillness, reflection and wonder.
Together, these two ensembles offer a compelling celebration of musical dialogue across cultures, traditions and landscapes.

★★★★ “An underlying mysticism redolent of John Coltrane and Yusef Lateef” MOJO
“8/10 – Inner landscape in ‘Raag kafi’ is reminiscent if Impulse-era Alice Coltrane” UNCUT
“That incredible record from Naïssam Jalal that fuses classical hindustani with spiritual jazz was five years in the making and it absolutely shows. Such a special record” Somewhere Soul
