Sam Gendel live in London

Experience Sam Gendel live on November 17th

Sam Gendel, a Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist and composer, will perform at Union Chapel in London on November 17, 2026. Gendel’s musical style is often described as a blend of jazz improvisation, ambient textures, and electronic processing. He frequently utilizes saxophone as a primary instrument, manipulating its sound through looping and effects pedals to create layered, atmospheric compositions. His work draws influence from artists like Steve Reich and Brian Eno, while retaining a distinctly personal and exploratory quality. He has released albums on labels including NNA Tapes and Saddle Creek.

Union Chapel is a historic non-denominational church in Islington, London. Originally built between 1877 and 1878 in the Gothic Revival style, it was designed by architect James Cubitt. Beyond its religious function, the Chapel has a long history as a performance venue, renowned for its exceptional acoustics. The building’s interior features ornate Victorian detailing and stained glass windows contributing to its unique atmosphere. It regularly hosts musical performances spanning various genres – from classical and choral works to contemporary pop and experimental music – alongside community events and social initiatives.
