Sail across musical boundaries in this programme by Chineke!

Fela Sowande came to London in 1934 and had a distinguished career in England, Nigeria and the USA. His music combines Western tradition with his native Yoruba culture. Perhaps his best-known work, the African Suite is packed full of open-hearted melodies in its five short movements.

Max Richter fused the musical DNA of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons with his own style. The result topped the charts in 22 countries and has now been recorded by Chineke! – take this chance to hear it live.
