Info
Join Manchester Collective, percussionist Sidiki Dembélé and his band at Queen Elizabeth Hall for folksong and storytelling from Côte d’Ivoire, Mali and Senegal.
Born out of his family’s griot tradition of West African oral history and music, Dembélé’s work Teriya (“friendship” in Bambara) explores where our roots meet and intertwine.
Adding her own colours to this palette is Nwando Ebizie. The composer and multidisciplinary artist creates a new work filtered through her Afrofuturist vision. Drawing from the power of ancestral heritages and rites, her piece looks back at our destiny and envisions our inheritance, welcoming the future by calling on the spirits of the past.
Along the way, lead violinist Rakhi Singh threads together and brings new life to classical and contemporary works.
Manchester Collective is a Southbank Centre Resident Artist for Classical Music: autumn/winter 2026/27.
This performance is supported by the Cockayne Foundation.
