The critically acclaimed musicians of Chineke! make their Stratford East debut with a kaleidoscopic programme for string quartet. The evening celebrates the work of two African-American composers: rising star Brian Nabors, who draws on jazz, funk, R&B and gospel alongside contemporary classical music, and William Grant Still, who was arguably the first Black composer to gain prominence in the world of American classical music in the 1930s. 

Bookended by well-loved classics by Mendelssohn and Haydn, this evening will be a night to remember for the classical music newcomer as well as the contemporary classical connoisseur.
