Alongside Axel, the ensemble are; cellist Emma Barnaby, pianist Leif Kaner-Lidstr枚m, drummer Harry Ling a.k.a. Mackwood, guitarist Paris Raine, harpist Marysia Osu, bassist Hamish Nockles Moore, saxophonist James Akers, vocalist Plumm, and flautist Llu铆s Dom猫nech Plana.

For this performance, the ensemble showcased music from their new album 'Sanctuary'.
