TL to co-host live-streamed Manu Delago concert

Tue 7 April 2020

The composition alum will perform live on Facebook this Thursday

Grammy-nominated percussionist and composer Manu Delago studied composition at Trinity Laban, graduating with his Postgraduate Advanced Diploma in 2011.

During his international career, Manu has performed in more that 50 countries across the globe and has collaborated with world-famous artists including sitar player Anoushka Shankar – for whom he composed and produced the 2016 album Land of Gold – and Björk. He has also appeared as a soloist with the London Symphony Orchestra.

Postponing his concerts across the Czech Republic, Hungary and Turkey due to Covid-19, Manu will instead perform an intimate concert from his living room, joined by a surprise special guest. The concert features his own compositions as well as new arrangements of the diverse talents of J. S. Bach and Britney Spears.

It will be streamed live on both Manu and Trinity Laban’s Facebook pages at 20.00 BST on Thursday 9 April 2020.

In the meantime, enjoy Manu’s newest YouTube video ‘House Beats’, where he swaps traditional instruments for household items:
