What's on this week: classical music in London
OSLO Hackney will host Abel Selaocoe and Chesaba on Saturday
The sun’s been out for a couple of days in a row and it’s starting to feel a bit like summer…
And if a 30° Friday wasn’t enough of a pick-me-up, we’ve got a very exciting summer-themed announcement coming your way in the next couple of days. Sign-up to our newsletter here to be notified about it first.
For now, we’ve got an incredible week of live music lined-up, topped off with the much-anticipated return of Abel Selaocoe to noisenights.
After his sold-out solo show with us in December, he’s back with Chesaba on Saturday. The late set late release tickets we put on-sale last week have since sold-out, but there are (literally) on a handful left for the early set. Pick them up here.
