What's on this week: classical music in London
Afrik Bawantu, led by Afla Sackey - who will perform with nonclassical on Sunday, and at noisenight eight next week
What a week. We’ve just about recovered from noisenight seven on Saturday, where percussionist Toril Azzalini-Machecler, funk and afrobeats outfit BlindB Soundsystem, and DJ Mattana delivered incredible back-to-back sets - filling Dalston’s home of live music The Jago from 6.30pm-3.30am.
We’re straight back in to action next week, as the Jess Gillam Ensemble kick-off their UK tour with us at Well Seasoned (in Peckham Levels) on 14 May. More about that below, along with our favourite concerts you should go to this week…
