The Music of the Kora.  Sean Gaskell will give a performance and educational demonstration of the kora, an ancient 21-stringed harp from West Africa. He will feature traditional songs that are the heart and the soul of the kora's musical repertoire in addition to some of his own personal compositions.  Sean is one of the very few Americans who have been trained in the mastery of the challenging instrument.
