Sullivan Fortner will perform at the Southbank Centre, London, on November 22, 2026. Fortner is a pianist and composer whose musical style blends jazz improvisation with elements of gospel, classical, and hip-hop. He is known for his virtuosic technique and emotionally resonant performances, often incorporating original compositions alongside reinterpretations of standards. His work frequently explores themes of spirituality and personal narrative within a contemporary jazz framework. Fortner has collaborated with artists such as Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah and Robert Glasper.

The Southbank Centre is a 21-acre arts complex situated on the River Thames, and represents a significant landmark in London’s cultural landscape. Originally constructed for the 1951 Festival of Britain, it houses concert halls, theatres, art galleries and performance spaces. The Centre was envisioned as a celebration of British arts and sciences post-World War II and has since become a major hub for international artistic expression. Its Royal Festival Hall, the primary concert venue where Fortner will appear, is renowned for its acoustics and architectural significance; it was one of the first post-war buildings to embrace Modernist design principles on a large scale.
