Rhiannon Giddens and Francesco Turrisi
Banjo superstar, sublime vocalist, and critics’ darling, Giddens makes her Koerner Hall debut with intricate
songs from Appalachia and the Deep South of America. She teams up with Italian jazz pianist and percussionist Turrisi, and together they reimagine the journey of musical instruments from Africa, the Middle East, through southern Europe and England, and over to the Americas.
