Upper Valley Music Center’s Suzuki program presents their annual Showcase concert featuring music from across the ocean.
This concert includes more than 100 students ages 3-18 performing on cello, viola, and violin, plus special guest balafon master Mamadou Diabate as the culmination of an educational residency. The concert will bring Diabate’s tradition of West African music — from his home country of Burkina Faso — together with other world music traditions, classical repertoire, and American fiddle tunes.
This event is the culmination of UVMC’s Sing & Play Festival, a celebration of music-making in our community.
