A rare opportunity to hear the transcendent pianist and vocalist South Africa pianist Nduduzo Makathini with his trio in an intimate setting. The Blue Note recording artist, deeply influenced by such countrymen as Abdullah Ibrahim and the great American jazz legends, too, has pursued “a kind of playing that could mirror or evoke the way my people danced, sung, and spoke,” he says. His telepathic trio has Zwelakhe-Duma Bell Le Pere on bass and Kabelo Boy Mokhatla on drums. Two shows — at 6:30pm and 8:30pm (tickets sold separately to each show)

Raisbeck Auditorium is a new performance space at Cornish College of the Arts. Not to be confused with the older Raisbeck Performance Hall next door, the new auditorium is located in the Ivey building on the corner of Lenora St and Boren Ave.
