ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Don't miss the West Coast premiere of this groundbreaking collaboration between Malian kora player Ballaké Sissoko and French cellist Vincent Ségal! The critically hailed chamber music project, featuring two masterful artists, represents one of the most exquisitely beautiful fusions undertaken in the last decade.
Deeply rooted in Manding music while incorporating world music and classical sounds, the duo’s intimate and lyrical compositions have moved fans around the world.
“At times playing in unison, more often in counterpoint to one another, the two sets of strings create complex rhythmic patterns that are sometimes hypnotic, elsewhere energizing, and always engaging.”—PopMatters
Presented as part of the Skirball’s new concert series, Journeys and Encounters, offering surprising collaborations between musicians of diverse genres.
