African Tales shines light on classical works by three Black composers from Africa and the Diaspora.
Internationally acclaimed pianist and historian Samantha Ege is joined by the Castle of Our Skins quartet. Together, they perform a varied programme with works for piano quintet and piano trio.
Two powerful compositions by Bongani Ndodana-Breen and Undine Smith Moore respond to the harrowing history of apartheid. The programme closes with the Piano Quintet in G minor by Samuel Coleridge Taylor, an inspirational figure for many worldwide.
