The programme
Dembélé and his ensemble join Manchester Collective for Constellations, bringing together West African and European musical traditions.
The programme includes Dembélé’s Teriya and a London premiere by Nwando Ebizie. This is a useful choice if you want to hear how folk material, classical playing and percussion interact in one live programme.
Before choosing a seat
The venue recommends ages 7+ and requires under-12s to be accompanied by an adult on site.
For a family visit, weigh the approximate two-hour-and-fifteen-minute duration against the child’s concert experience.
Make an evening of it
Keep your meal and meeting point on the South Bank, with time to find the correct hall before entry.
Decide whether the priority is the programme, a particular seat or staying within a total budget. Compare those choices before committing to another timed activity.
