Christelle Durandy Sanktet at Piedmont Piano Company

About

TWO SHOWS 5:30 (SOLD OUT) & 7:30

Vocalist Christelle Durandy fuses Afro-Caribbean, jazz and other polyrhythmic sounds in a provocative exploration of the African diaspora’s diffuse and powerful musical energy - a multicultural complexity Christelle herself embodies. Backed by her band Sanktet (a play on the French “cinq têtes,” or “five heads''), Christelle draws upon her polyglot background to celebrate and expand the diaspora’s vibrant musical conversation. With Isaac Schwartz (drums), Steve Hogan (Electric bass), Nathan Bickart (piano), Mena Ramos (percussion).
