Sean has studied extensively under the instruction of Kora masters in Gambia, and has performed at numerous music festivals in both the U.S. and Africa.

Gaskell’s performance will take place at the Empire Township Hall. This is an encore appearance for Sean, who entertained kids and parents during our 2016 summer program schedule. For more information see Sean’s website seangaskell.com, or contact the library at 326-5361.
