About CBSO 2024/25: Seckou Keita - African Rhapsodies

Age Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult 18+

Running time 75mins

The kora and the orchestra combine for these evocative Rhapsodies.

This is a truly sublime set: as the second movement puts it, they are ‘Simply Beautiful’. The kora, a multi-stringed African instrument, is given the spotlight, played here by Seckou Keita. Evocative, poetic, joyful – not to be missed.
