New Works: From Historical to Hip-Hop
Kings Place, Hall Two, N1 9AG , [Venue Details]Now in its second year, Classically Black is more than a festival—it’s part of a wider cultural movement, amplifying underrepresented voices and reshaping classical music across the UK.
Opening with a keynote from Dr Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason, this event moves through a range of powerful musical expressions, from the rich, expressive works of Louise Farrenc and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, performed by the Sabi Ensemble, to the innovative fusion of Simmy Singh, whose violin and electronics blend classical, jazz, folk and experimental sound worlds.
Bringing the session to a thrilling close, The Jollof House Party Opera serves up a spicy mix of opera and hip-hop in a high-energy, hybrid performance. Co-produced by Music Theatre Wales and FIO, this is opera, but not as you know it.
This performance invites you to experience new voices and fresh narratives rooted in both tradition and transformation.
