Strings Across Worlds brings together four extraordinary musicians whose instruments carry centuries of tradition across continents, from the shimmering resonance of the Chinese p**a, to the flowing melodies of the West African kora, the meditative depth of the Indian sitar, and the passionate expression of flamenco guitar.
Featuring:
• 🎶 Gao Hong — p**a
• 🎶 Kadialy Kouyate — kora
• 🎶 Baluji Shrivastav — sitar
• 🎶 Ignacio Lusardi Monteverde — flamenco guitar
The evening moves between intimate solo performances and vibrant collaborations, as these artists weave together distinct musical languages into a shared conversation shaped by heritage, improvisation, and imagination. Rooted in tradition yet open to exploration, Strings Across Worlds offers a rare meeting point between cultures, histories, and sounds.
