The goal of Afroclassical is to give composers of the African diaspora the space, visibility and recognition they deserve – and to anchor them as a natural part of the early music landscape. For the trio line-up, Aitua Igeleke has newly arranged a diverse repertoire – from chamber music to operatic arias. On stage she embodies personalities such as Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-George, among others, and combines musical interpretation with biographical storytelling. Igeleke herself feels at home in many genres, in classical music as well as in jazz and Afrobeat. Her own compositions also have a place in the Afroclassical Project.
Line-up
Aitua Igeleke – Guitar, Artistic Direction
Marcos Costa – Flute
Jorge Silva – Harpsichord
In cooperation with the Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum and the Institut français Köln.
