Overview
With soprano and percussion colleagues, the pianist explores music by composers of African backgrounds whose careers took them elsewhere, amongst them Ayo Bankole (who studied in London, Cambridge and Los Angeles), Akin Euba (who held appointments in Germany, the UK and America), and the 18th-century Paris-based star violinist and composer Joseph Bologne, also known as the Chevalier de Saint-Georges.
This concert is part of the CAVATINA Chamber Music Trust ticket scheme, offering free tickets to those aged 8-25
