Mesmerising South African jazz pianist Abdullah Ibrahim performs an intimate and atmospheric solo show.

Taking us on a journey through a lifetime of musical experience – a sacred and secular melting pot of gospel and jive, American jazz and classical music – he skilfully weaves his influences into free-flowing piano inventiveness. His is a distinctive brand of exquisite, meditative tranquillity: heart-stopping melodies that combine with a powerful spirituality. Ibrahim’s music has long tracked the turbulence of his homeland’s history, matching its past struggles and current optimism through music of great hope and deeply reflective soulfulness.
