He will be performing material from his new CD The Legend of Mike Smith (based on Dante’s Inferno/The Seven Deadly Sins) for the first time in London. And on the final night Alex Wilson presents a suite for kora, piano and strings, which was originally commissioned for the Harrogate Festival. In addition, Wilson will also be performing with his new trio.
