PRAx and Quiet Genius for Loud Times Present: Ballaké Sissoko and Derek Gripper
A virtuosic player of the kora, Ballaké Sissoko (Mali) joins with a virtuosic player of the guitar, Derek Gripper (South Africa). Meditative, harmonic, and collaborative, these two master musicians – one playing a 21-stringed instrument, the other a 6-string – improvise with amazing facility, creating a unique musical language that they have performed around the world. Sissoko and Gripper come to PRAx through a special, late-breaking opportunity in the 24-25 season. Watch for future collaborations with Quiet Genius for Loud Times, an initiative focused on the meditative power of music performed by extraordinary musicians from many countries and traditions.
