The Brodsky Quartet are the ultimate musical explorers. They have worked with musicians in almost every field of music imaginable, and this concert is no different. The 21-string African harp-lute kora, played by Tunde Jegede, will share the stage in a wonderful piece written for kora and quartet. The quartet also performs Jegede’s celebrated response to Beethoven’s Quartet No.2. To begin the evening we will be treated to a special performance by local Senegalese kora player and griot Jali Fily Cissokho.
