The concert is scheduled to take place at the John Innes Centre in Norwich on November 15th, 2026. The John Innes Centre is an independent, international research institute dedicated to plant science and biotechnology. Founded in 1910, it has a significant history of groundbreaking discoveries in areas like genetics, crop improvement, and understanding plant-pathogen interactions. Originally established as a horticultural research institution responding to threats to British agriculture, it evolved into a world-leading centre for fundamental plant research. The Centre’s buildings include both historic structures reflecting its origins and modern laboratory facilities. While primarily a scientific institution, the John Innes Centre occasionally hosts cultural events utilizing its adaptable spaces; the concert hall provides an intimate setting for musical performances.
