Amina Figarova Sextet with Matsiko World Orphan Choir

Critically acclaimed jazz composer and pianist, Amina Figarova, in collaboration with the internationally renowned Matsiko World Orphan Choir, has created an exceptional evening of music that has thrilled audiences across the United States in over 40 performances from New Orleans to Buffalo and Nashville to Chicago. The two groups came together in March of 2024 to create a recording entitled Suite for Africa, and have been on tour in the US from April through November.
Meadowlark is thrilled to be able to present this special concert as one of the last stops on their 2024 tour before the choir returns to Libera, Africa.
The 18 albums Amina Figarova released to date have made her one of the most admired composers in jazz. … The (Matsiko World Orphan Choir) voices are neither sweet nor soothing, they are clamorous and jubilant …. It sounds like love becomes music.
Thomas Conrad, Stereophile Magazine, September, 2024

Founded in 2005 by Don and Jennie Windham, the Matsiko World Orphan Choir became an international phenomenon. The Matsiko World Orphan Choir is made up of sponsored children from Liberia, Peru, India, and Nepal. Matsiko is the first choir to allow children in the sponsorship program to come to the US and tour as ambassadors for the world's 600 million orphaned and at-risk children.

This event is free, but tickets are required.
