DALLAS! Join us for an unforgettable evening with Derek Gripper, a guitarist who redefines the boundaries of classical music.
Renowned for his innovative technique that evokes the rich sounds of the West African Kora (21 string harp), Gripper masterfully blends the intricate music of great African composers including Toumani Diabaté and Ali Farka Touré alongside the timeless compositions of Arvo Pärt and J.S. Bach.
An endorsement to his revolutionary approach to music, Gripper has performed in major venues across the world, including Carnegie Hall and Shakespeare's globe.
He has even performed alongside guitar legend John Williams and kora maestro Toumani Diabaté’s Symmetric Orchestra.
After a run of SOLD OUT shows on his recent world tour, Gripper is bringing an unforgettable, genre-defying experience to the USA!
This is more than just a concert, it’s an immersive musical exploration that bridges continents and genres.
Venue: Unity of Dallas, 6525 Forest Ln, Dallas

Special note:
The great Malian kora player Toumani passed away unexpectedly in July of 2024. To commemorate the passing of one of Africa’s great virtuosos, Derek will perform the five compositions off Toumani’s debut album “Kaira” in a brand new, never before performed, rendition of these classics of the West African repertoire.
