  • Join us for the digital premiere of Rhiannon Giddens with Francesco Turrisi: there is no Other.
    Giddens made her MetLiveArts debut last fall with her latest ambitious project, conceived and performed with Francesco Turrisi. This performance is both a condemnation of "othering" and a celebration of the spreading of ideas, connectivity, and shared experience. Tracing the movement of instruments, sounds, and musical language back and forth from Africa, the Arab world, Europe, and the Americas, there is no Other illuminates the blossoming that's possible when culture flows freely between peoples and lands. The Temple of Dendur in The Sackler Wing provided a stunning context for Gidden's virtuosity and raw emotional musicality.
    This program is made possible by William H. Wright II and the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation. Additional support is provided by Douglas Dockery Thomas.
    Credits:
    Rhiannon Giddens, vocals, violin, banjo
    Francesco Turrisi, percussion, piano, accordion
    Jason Sypher, bass

    At age 78 and former folk singer (very former) I can safely say that Rhiannon Giddens is one of those rare talents that comes to maturity only with dedication, education, research and tenacity from a mysterious well of creativity in a precious soul.

      Yes--the MacArthur Foundation recognized her immense skill, knowledge, and talent with one of their famous no-strings-attached "genius grants" which I'm sure helped her greatly in her journey. She wouldn't have gotten that if she weren't already phenomenal.

    The treasures only found when you leave the beaten path of format radio and over-processed, over-dubbed, predictable and non-imaginative tunes that are readily available. Thank you Met and Thank you Rhiannon Giddens for giving us music with nuance, beauty, power and history that reveals more than we've ever been taught. And Thank you Francesco for bringing sounds of the Mediterranean and beyond. Fabulous concert.
