On the 18th of June 2016 the Bristol Symphony Orchestra performed the Concerto for Kora and Orchestra at St George’s in Bristol. We produced a six minute film documenting the collaboration between William Goodchild and Mamadou Cissokho, from when they first met up for a jam session in February through to the final concert, affirming the power of music as an important tool for communication, unhindered by barriers of language and culture – forging new relationships between people from different backgrounds and traditions.
