Kinetika Bloco x Tomorrow’s Warriors
Two of London’s finest youth arts initiatives join forces to present an evening of live music under the stars
Tomorrow’s Warriors team up with long-time friends and collaborators Kinetika Bloco for an evening of shared performances and a celebration jam.
Young musicians from both Southbank Centre Resident Organisations take to the stage, bringing jazz and carnival sounds together. Expect so much future star power you’ll be able to see it from space.
Jazzing things up even further is trumpet player Grifton Forbes-Amos, who performs a live set. Hitting the decks are DJs from Sister Midnight collective, an upcoming community-owned music venue and radio station based in Catford.
For 26 years, Kinetika Bloco has been on a mission to engage young people from south London in long-term creative activity via music and dance, advancing their education, skills, and capacity for learning and leadership.
Founded in 1991, Tomorrow’s Warriors is a pioneering music talent development charity, specialising in jazz and ensuring that young people locked out of opportunity have access to the resources, social networks and platforms they need to flourish in music and to live into their full creative vision, goals and dreams.
The Southbank Centre’s Riverside Sessions are part of our 75th birthday celebrations and have been curated entirely by young people. Come along, whatever your age, to celebrate youth as a mindset – not a number.
