A streamlined version of the Chineke! Orchestra – which, despite only recently forming, performed at the BBC Proms this summer – this ensemble is led by American violinist Tai Murray and features double-bassist and founder Chi-chi Nwanoku OBE.

They will be joined for this concert by violinist Didier Osindero, who was recently awarded a scholar award to study at the RNCM.

Together, the ensemble will tackle a programme that features Beethoven’s Septet in E flat major Op 20 and Joseph Boulogne (Chevalier de Saint-Georges)’s Second String Quartet.

This traditional boozer, surrounded by imposing flats and university buildings, was taken over by Trof (of the Deaf Institute fame). The Sally, as the regulars call it, hosts an energetic, arty crowd – and its recently expanded outside area is another good reason to visit.
