About this event
An intimate evening of talking & playing with the jazz pianist, composer and educator Nikki Yeoh, in conversation with SOAS's Caspar Melville.
Jazz critic Kevin Le Gendre on Nikki Yeoh:
Those who have seen Yeoh will testify to her virtuosity on the keyboard. Drawing on pioneers from the worlds of jazz, classical music and soul, above all the likes of Herbie Hancock, Alexander Scriabin and Stevie Wonder, Yeoh has developed a style that can move from explosive rhythmic energy to understated lyricism at a moment’s notice. Indeed her ability to conjure up the most vividly evocative of moods by way of subtle, probing harmony has been proven time and again.
