Make the most of your lunchtimes with fabulous performances by professional musicians.

African Classical Music: A Forgotten History is a lecture-recital that blends live piano performance with historical narration to celebrate African and Black classical composers of the 18th and 19th centuries.

Taking to the stage is the award-winning British-Nigerian classical pianist and curator, Rebeca Omordia. Hailed as a “classical music game changer” (Classical Music Magazine) and an “African classical music pioneer” (BBC World Service), she is currently Artist-in-residence at Wigmore Hall in London. Through performance, recording, and curation, she continues to reshape perceptions of the classical piano repertoire for the 21st century.

After the show, there will be an opportunity to meet the artist at Benugo Bar & Kitchen over a free hot drink.
