About this concert
A Mwldan Production
Catrin Finch has been called the “Queen of Harps”, the artist who took a Welsh tradition and renewed it for the 21st century. Seckou Keita, meanwhile, is the most charismatic – and captivating – kora player of our time: an artist immersed in centuries of Senegalese music, who’s amazed and delighted listeners all over the world.
Two great harpists, two great traditions; both united by a passion to communicate. Together they’ll do exactly that performing selected pieces from Catrin and Seckou’s first two albums – ‘Clychau Dibon’ (2013) and ‘SOAR’ (2018) – as well as new music.
