Change of Artist

Please note that Eugene Skeef (percussion) is no longer able to perform in the above concert. We are grateful to Vincent Haastrup (violin) who will join for this concert instead.

Deep knowledge of western classical composition and the timeless oral tradition rooted in Malian culture have nourished the music of composer, producer, cellist and kora virtuoso Tunde Jegede. Having journeyed from his native London to Gambia during childhood, he absorbed the ancient griot tradition of West Africa and continues to develop its legacy in compositions that speak to the heart.
