As part of Wigmore Hall's 125th Anniversary Festival, a concert by Bantu Ensemble. Since its foundation by Abel Selaocoe in 2022, Bantu Ensemble has woven together rich strands of European classical music, African hymns and songs, jazz and the echoes of ancient ancestral voices to create unique programmes that project universal emotions. 'It’s about things that we can all connect to,' says Selaocoe. The South African cellist and vocalist draws on his own deep experience of music made with his family, at church and in his vast imagination to shape life-enhancing improvisations and exquisite classical interpretations. Presented live from Wigmore Hall by Martin Handley Bantu Ensemble Abel Selaocoe: cello, voice Alan Keary: bass Dudu Kouaté: percussion Fred Thomas: piano
