The Los Angeles Philharmonic’s 2022/23 World Music series comes to Walt Disney Concert Hall with an eclectic mix of artists performing music from around the world, featuring Rhiannon Giddens (Nov. 12), Kodo (Jan. 31), Ladysmith Black Mambazo (Mar. 3) and Ziggy Marley (Mar. 17).

As a member of The Carolina Chocolate Drops and in her solo work, Rhiannon Giddens has used her art to excavate the past and reveal bold truths about our present. A singer, fiddler and banjo player, she joins forces with the LA Phil conducted by Jeri Lynne Johnson and the Resistance Revival Chorus to bring centuries’ worth of American music to the Walt Disney Concert Hall stage, performing jazz, blues, country and gospel.

For four decades, the Japanese group Kodo has shown off the extraordinary emotional and artistic range of the traditional taiko drum on stages around the world. Their new program Tsuzumi commemorates this incredible legacy, featuring pieces that trace their music back to the group’s origins.

Ladysmith Black Mambazo have been bringing the vocal harmonies of South Africa to the world for 60 years. The choral group first came to international prominence via their appearance on Paul Simon’s Graceland in 1986, and in the years since they’ve become one of their country’s most prominent and celebrated cultural institutions – not to mention five-time Grammy Award winners. The message of peace, love and harmony radiates through their collected voices with instantly recognizable warmth.

Eight-time Grammy Award winner, Emmy-winner, musician, activist, producer and humanitarian Ziggy Marley has cut a singular path in the world, bringing the sounds of reggae music together with funk, blues and rock. And no matter how far his interests take him, he always returns to his foundation: the transformative power of love. He is the eldest son of Bob and Rita Marley.
