Join the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and Senegalese composer and kora player Seckou Keita for 'African Rhapsodies' at Lighthouse
Join the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra this February for a symphonic journey like you have never experienced before
Nottingham based Senegalese composer and kora player Seckou Keita is proud to present African Rhapsodies: an epic project created in collaboration with Italian composer and musician Davide MantovaniThis enchanting work for kora and orchestra celebrates Africa's magical 22-stringed harp and gives it the position of prominence granted for centuries to the violin, piano and fluteIt makes us wonder if Bach or Beethoven might have composed for kora had they travelled to Africa in their lifetimeSeckou builds on that notion by way of his own imagination, which is greatly sparked by his lengthy fascination with crossing cultural bordersThe result is a majestic work showcasing a whirlwind of virtuosity, but above all a sublime poetic journey where music is pure emotion
Since arriving in the UK in 1999, Seckou Keita has been on an epic creative journey that has seen him broaden the idiomatic scope of his instrument as well as spread his wings, literally and figurativelyNicknamed 'the Hendrix of the Kora', Seckou has been celebrated for his ingenious tunings and virtuosity and praised as 'one of the finest exponents of the kora'Performing all over the globe as a solo artist and with his ground-breaking quintet, he captivated audiences at WOMAD, Hay, Glastonbury, Tokyo Jazz, Chicago World Music Festival, Sydney International, Montreal Jazz Festival and many more places
