We're in a new year at Afro Classical Nights, and our 10th episode takes a look at what is coming up at the October show.

This show presents (possibly) the highest percentage of new faces in one event, with music from Fred Onovwerosuoke and Leopold Mozart, and performances by our first Mother-Daughter duo!

Jesse and Kwaku look at the life and music of George Mensah Essilfie, his upcoming Kalabashi Concert and the Songs of Akotam musical which will be staged during the concert, in a production featuring Harmonious Chorale Ghana. The musical is directed by Dr Johnson Edu of the University of Education, Winneba and Samuel Arko Mensah.



Songs of Akotam is fairy-tale like play set in a fictional village. It promises comedy and diverse music as well as an all-important life lesson on the power of the arts to transform the world.

Welcome to the Afro Classical Nights Preview Show!



In this episode, Kwaku and Jesse look forward to a string of amazing performances of music from persons not usually on the repertoire: Gabriel Fauré and Arnold Schoenberg included!



There's also going to be some kete drumming by Joel Opare, and good old fashioned Mozart and Schubert. We ask the all-important question: can we get an arpeggione to Accra by Friday? 😅



There's a lot to look forward to at the next Afro Classical Nights. We hope you'll join us!
