The African Concert Series Celebrates Its 8th Season of African Classical Music
About this episode
The episode discusses the success of the African Concert Series in London, created by pianist Rebeca Omordia, and its impact on the perception of African classical music.
It took pianist Rebeca Omordia 8 years to create the African Concert Series in London. She was even told that African classical music wasn’t really classical at all, nor would anyone want to listen to it. The series is very popular now. So much so that Wigmore Hall in London has gifted Omordia a residency at the world class venue.
