Corina Kwami Duo Live – Sat 12 July, 7.30 pm, £10 tickets
From jazz to Latino music, soul to samba, this show will have a mix of originals and classics on the theme of the planet, the people and intertwined pathways. Born in New Jersey, USA, to a Ghanaian and Irish family, her inspiration in jazz is flavoured with influences such as stride piano, West African high-life, Irish folk music and soul. Corina will perform with a special guest, Clement Regert.
La Traviata – Sun 13 July, 2.30 pm
After its sold-out UK premiere at ActOne, Giuseppe Verdi’s filmed version of La Traviata returns for one final screening. This is not a live capture, but a new approach to delivering opera: One of opera’s most famous and beloved works out of the great opera houses and into a new light. Verdi’s opera, originally designed for a large romantic orchestra and huge chorus, is here reimagined as an intimate love story.
