Join us for an exquisite evening of music. We warmly welcome back distinguished conductor Kevin John Edusei to guide the Chineke! Orchestra. This concert is not just a gathering of musical talent but also a celebration of the familial bonds within the Chineke! Orchestra.
The concert opens with the world premiere of the dynamic sounds of Derrick Skye's Prisms, Cycles, Leaps.
A founding member of the Chineke! Orchestra, Isata Kanneh-Mason makes her highly anticipated solo debut with the orchestra this evening.
Her performance of Sergei Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No.3 promises to be a deeply personal and poignant interpretation, reflecting her intimate connection with the ensemble.
The programme culminates with another world premiere; this time of Brian Raphael Nabors' Concerto for Orchestra, a composition that marries the traditional richness of orchestral sound with the freshness of contemporary musical innovation.
With Edusei's seasoned leadership and Kanneh-Mason's debut performance, the evening is set to be a harmonious blend of heritage and innovation, showcasing the depth and diversity that define the Chineke! Orchestra.
