All London's live music

Celebrating the ensemble in all its glory, Nneka creates electro-acoustic and acoustic music with a focus on colour, percussiveness and organic flowing melodies. His original sound worlds are formed of new sonic combinations and timbral blends.

Then we hear music by the sensation that is Ayanna Witter-Johnson in Blush. A long-time collaborator and incredible performer in her own right, she takes the traditions of classical music and seamlessly blends them with a wealth of influences including R&B and reggae.

Cassie Kinoshi’s handpan concerto to the hibiscus blends the mellow sounds of this rare but wonderful instrument with the orchestral textures of Chineke! Orchestra’s string section and percussion soloist Rosie Bergonzie.

Stewart Goodyear echoes the essence of his Trinidadian heritage in Life, Life, Life, a piece dedicated to his mother, who would often say the phrase whether she was feeling happy, exhausted or exasperated.

And we close with a work that reflects one of the most powerful global movements in modern history, as composer James B Wilson and poet Yomi Ṣode reflect an image from Black Lives Matter protests.
