Music from a multitude of genres falls within the panoramic creative vision of Rhiannon Giddens, winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 2023 for her opera Omar, co-written with Michael Abels, and a two-time Grammy Award winner for Best Folk Album and Best Traditional Folk Album. Her art tells spine-tingling stories about what it is to be human.
For this special concert, Rhiannon is delighted to collaborate with an adventurous kindred spirit in music making, Seckou Keita, a renowned Kora virtuoso who stands as a luminary amongst African traditional musicians. Hailing from Southern Senegal, his journey from a gifted child to a globally recognised musician has been nothing short of remarkable and has always been influenced by his deep desire to create musical connections.
