Gabriel Adédèjì is an acclaimed composer and pianist whose remarkable musical contributions are shaping the landscape of West African classical music. Hailing from Nigeria, he draws inspiration from the rich heritage of Yorùbá folklore, which he experienced through the captivating tales told by his late mother. These tales, often intertwined with music, have deeply influenced Gabriel's artistic vision, fostering a profound connection to the musical culture of the Yorùbá people.

Wigmore Sessions offer a platform for early career musicians, and are informal, intimate performances in the Learning Room, which is specially dressed for the occasion.
