KALPESH LATHIGRA: THE TREE OF A MAN NAMED BEOHHA –BECONTREE NOW

RIBA First Floor Gallery 66 Portland Place, W1B 1AD architecture.com

As part of a series of activities marking the centenary of the ground-breaking Becontree Estate in east London, local photographer Kalpesh Lathigra presents a nuanced study of its architecture as it appears today.

Directed by Rachel Podger, the Bach in Leipzig series continues with two Eastertide cantatas and one for Pentecost. Wer mich liebet, for Whit Sunday, is potentially the first cantata that Bach ever wrote with Leipzig in mind, and is notable for its restrained use of large, festal forces.

THE ACADEMY CHAMBER ORCHESTRA

Royal Academy of Music

Trevor Pinnock conducts Schubert’s unfinished Eighth Symphony, which was composed in 1822, the year the Academy was founded. Mendelssohn’s virtuosic Violin Concerto in E minor completes the programme.

EXHIBITION

This exhibition of new works by the 27-year-old South African visual artist Lulama Wolf features some of the fruits of her recent month-long residency in Antibes, France, for the Undiscovered Canvas residency programme for emerging African artists.

Lulama’s approach is rooted in her heritage – her paintings make use of the traditional techniques of smearing, scraping and deep pigmentation – and her work captures some of the simplicity and deep spiritual power of the pre-colonial African experience, but her interrogation of history, geography and spirituality feels highly contemporary.

UNTIL 4 MARCH
