WFHB’s Nicki Seven recently sat down via Zoom with Grammy Award–winning percussionist and multi-instrumentalist Francesco Turrisi ahead of his upcoming performance at IU Auditorium on Thursday, March 12.
Turrisi will be performing as part of Silkroad’s program Sanctuary: The Power of Resonance and Ritual, featuring Grammy-winning singer and banjo player Rhiannon Giddens. In this thoughtful and wide-ranging conversation, Nicki and Turrisi talk about the spirit behind the show, the work they do off the big stages during this tour, flying dreams, and the creative freedom that is prioritized in this cross-cultural collaboration.
It’s a fascinating preview of a truly unique performance—and a conversation not to be missed.
