Music’s ability to bridge cultures, expand traditions, and connect individuals can be felt in this powerful, interactive Well-Being Concert with Senegalese kora master and djeli Ablaye Cissoko and French accordionist Cyrille Brotto. In an interview with the UK’s Songlines, Cissoko says, “Both the kora and accordion somehow carry a living tradition. They awaken all our senses and allow us to see humanity differently.” Hosted in the Resnick Education Wing, this intimate performance by the acclaimed duo aspires to generate new feelings of connection and make a long-lasting, uplifting impression on audience members.

Audience members can choose from a variety of casual and comfortable seating options, with mats, cushions, and chairs all available on a first-come, first-served basis.

RSVPs are required and are limited to a total of four per order. RSVP below or by calling CarnegieCharge at 212-247-7800.

Scholars and scientists across disciplines are partnering with Carnegie Hall to ask important questions about the relationship between music and wellness. The Berkeley Social Interaction Lab at the University of California, Berkeley, under the guidance of professor of psychology Dr. Dacher Keltner, is partnering with Carnegie Hall to study the experience of live concerts. You are invited to participate in this study of the relationship between music and wellness, whether or not you attend the concert. If you participate, you will complete a series of surveys (for a total time commitment of approximately 90 minutes). You will receive a $15 gift card and also be entered into a drawing for an additional $50 gift card.
