Becky Brown, a violinist and pianist studying joined us at the Kanneh-Mason concert last night and called it ‘Absolutely astounding.’ She also commented on what a lovely atmosphere there was. Blake Studio came alive with music from .km and his sisters and 15 year old Mariatu. It really was an inspiring evening with three talented musicians.

‘Music teaches you so much – listening, hard work, perseverance – whether you want to pursue music as a career or just for fun’. Braimah Kanneh-Mason

This was the fourth concert in Norwich from this incredible virtuoso, musically gifted family and we are already making plans for the fifth.

Under the leadership of the inspirational Zimbabwean singer ANNA MUDEKA, our latest Autumn Festival of Norfolk Signature Project celebrates those of African heritage living in Norfolk.

Festival producers Stash & Peter explain more…
“In Norfolk there is a wealth of African talent, but we felt there was space for a bespoke African Choir whose remit is to bring that amazing vibe to a wider audience.

Inviting Anna Mudeka to head up this year ‘round project, we have secured someone whose natural energy, personality and talent will enthuse all who work with her on this new adventure reaching out across Norfolk and beyond.”

Monthly workshops throughout the year continue for people to come and try out. No experience needed, just a genuine desire to be a part of this exciting new choir.

Anna says...
“I am so delighted to have been asked to be Artistic Director of the choir by Stash Kirkbribe and Peter Barrow. From the day of our first rehearsals I could feel the energy and spirit of Africa from North, South, East, West, from young to mature, sharing songs from the motherland, laughter, joy and sisterhood. I knew we were on to a winner straight away and I can’t wait to show this through all the amazing hidden talent. The energy has continued to flow with a dedicated bunch of amazing women connecting energies, interweaving song, stories and supporting each other on this unique journey. You too can be part of it so why not contact us today”

Last night, the African Choir performed a sensation sell out show singing songs from many of the 54 countries that make up Africa and, of course, an entirely evocative and authentic programme of African songs and music.

The AUTUMN FESTIVAL of Norfolk & Anteros Arts Foundation presents

PAUL JACKSON
The Realms of Elsewhere

This Sunday 27th October
At Anteros Arts Foundation
Fye Bridge Street, Norwich NR3 1LJ
Tickets £14
7pm to 9pm Includes Exhibition, Performance + Q&A

After the success of the launch of Book 2
at the Festival in 2023, Paul Jackson returns
to unveil the third book in the series
‘The Realms of Elsewhere.’

The Uprising has begun against
The Lord of The Shadows, and the
Realms of Elsewhere are on the
brink of war. Elvish Prince Findorian
and the leader of the Uprising, a giant
Bee known as Ramasha set out together
to the faraway Conical mountains where
a child is hiding to protect the most
valuable and dangerous object in
their world.

Thus begins the second book in the series
of nine that comprise the fantastical stories
of the Realms of Elsewhere.

Filled with imagery and imagination,
these nine adventures, also illustrated by
the Author, will lead you into extraordinary
and unforgettable landscapes.
�Illustrations, sketches, artworks, notebooks
and manuscripts will be on display before the
Conversation, and Paul will be there to answer
any questions on the development of the series
both as its Author and Illustrator.
