The double Grammy-winning master of the ancient kora returns to St George's with a brand new show in which solo recitals are alternated with intimate music for three further musicians. As someone who has had a relationship with the city of Bristol since his participation in the earliest days of WOMAD, Toumani is a particularly treasured figure locally, and his last, sold-out solo show here was a miraculous performance of remarkable beauty and intensity.
