Roundhouse Three Sixty

Sona Jobarteh & the Philharmonia Orchestra

Main Space

As one of five principal kora playing families from West Africa, Sona Jobarteh stands on the mighty shoulders of her musical tradition, which she seamlessly mixes with Western instrumentation.

A special co-commission between Roundhouse and the Philharmonia for Roundhouse Three Sixty, this unique performance will see Gambian vocalist, multi-instrumentalist Jobarteh joined by the world-class symphony orchestra. As part of a programme she will curate the new commission that will fuse her background in both European and West African classical music.
