Juwon Ogungbe (baritone, piano) presents A New Year’s Recital – 2017

Juwon Ogungbe is returning to the concert stage after a lengthy sabbatical, with A New Year’s Recital 2017 – a concert programme featuring music from wide ranging parts of his repertoire as a composer-performer, at Platform Southwark (www.platformsouthwark.co.uk) at 3.00pm on Sunday, the 15th of January 2017.

Bringing together his skills and talents as a singer, pianist, composer and raconteur in a solo performance, Juwon Ogungbe is presenting new compositions and old favourites at Platform – a multi-discipline temporary project space located in Waterloo, just behind Southwark Station.

A New Year’s Recital – 2017 will feature music from Juwon Ogungbe’s album Life Force Music, other old favourites from his songbook, plus the first public performance of Denouement – his new suite of songs, piano interludes and spoken verse passages, composed and written in 2016.

The concert will also launch the release of Juwon’s first ever single – My Love – one of his best known and loved songs, which he was filmed performing many years ago in Le Bohemian Noir – a documentary that depicts the emergence of a conscious African movement in British black cultural style. I've been thinking for a while about the most effective way to combine my classical, world music and pop oriented performance vocabularies together in one event. Time and place also have important parts to play in such matters. I feel very lucky to have met Jessica Knight of Platform at the Royal Court Theatre, in an Artists Salon event. Jessica invited me to see the space at Platform and new vistas opened up for me almost immediately. By way of coincidence, I also have a single about to be released. This recital is a golden opportunity for me to share my musical visions for the future with an audience in a suitable setting for ground breaking creativity”.

Info: Full details about A New Year’s Recital – 2017 can be found on Ogungbe’s website at www.juwonogungbe.com, on the Eventbrite  and on Platform’s website www.platformsouthwark.co.uk | Tickets cost £5.00. Advance booking is recommended.
