Ayanna Witter-Johnson with the LSO Percussion Ensemble at LSO St Luke's

A jazz-infused concert showcasing the partnership between the LSO Percussion Ensemble and composer-cellist-singer Ayanna Witter-Johnson, including new works for percussion.

Combining alternative R&B with classical – and with influences from soul, hip hop and reggae too – Witter-Johnson is the definition of an eclectic soul. Building on Unconditionally, a love song for her mother (‘nothing comes between me and you’), she takes to the stage with the LSO Percussion Ensemble to perform two world premieres, Ocean Floor Suite and Tidal Warning.

All this alongside selections from ‘formidable musician’ and regular LSO Percussion Ensemble collaborator Gwilym Simcock.
