Celebrating Sanctuary presents Lunchtime Concerts at Symphony Hall in partnership with B:Music.Part 3 of our Autumn series of our much loved Lunchtime Concerts, with more amazing artists from around the World.
We know you'll love the variety of music we are presenting with the return of some favourites, bringing Kora and Balafon from Gambia, virtuoso guitar and song from DR Congo and Sacred Funk from Nigeria and the UK.
No booking required.
November brings Niwel Tsumbu to the stage. He is a virtuosic Congolese-born, Ireland-based guitarist.
He has created a unique and exhilarating style drawing on influences as diverse as jazz, classical, rock, folk and rhumba.
Niwel grew up on the rhythms of Congolese Soukous music and Rhumba, studying theory and improvisation with Crispin Ngoyi in Kinshasa.
Since moving to Ireland in 2004, he has become a hugely in-demand performing artist, and is currently touring the world as a member of the Rhiannon Giddens band.
His debut solo recording, Milimo draws on sources from Africa, Europe, and the Americas, forging a new African Classical tradition equally influenced by J.S. Bach, Paco de Lucia, Luambo Makiadi and Charlie.
We look forward to sharing this with you.
