The popular chamber music concert series continues with an exploration of music for the kora performed by Will Dudley. Will discovered the kora, a West African harp played by the Mandinka people of Mali, Senegal, and Gambia, while a student at the Ohio State University. In 2015 and 2018, he traveled to West Africa, spending five months immersed in the musical culture of Gambia and Mali training with kora masters. Will now fuses traditional kora technique with his own sensibilities—composing songs in alternative time signatures and altered tunings. His studies in West Africa deeply shaped his approach to music, inspiring him to blend deep traditions with contemporary exploration.
