Will Dudley, Kora, The African Harp

About

'I had the great pleasure of residing over a wedding in which Will played the African Harp. He is a deeply heartfelt and talented musician! The music was transporting to those present. It set the exact tone the bridal couple was hoping for which was love, joy and tenderness. I would completely recommend Will and his musical talent for any special or important occasion. He was also timely, professional and lovely to work with!'

Maureen Addington, Minister

My name is Will Dudley and I play the Kora, the West African Harp. Kora music is light and melodic, and will add the perfect ambiance to your special evening! To listen, and learn more about the wonderful instrument, please visit my website:

WillDudleyKora.com

If you are looking for a more energetic sound, I have an accompanying percussionist and violinist on call.

Solo kora is $100 for the first two hours, and $50 for each additional hour. Thank you!

Will played the African harp for our ceremony and it was absolutely beautiful. The instrument sounds incredible in a live setting and his playing style perfectly complements the occasion: wistful and light, like the notes are dancing around in the air. Everyone in the audience loved his performance which made an indelible impact on the night. Will was also very understanding and flexible as we were planning the event. I would absolutely recommend him for any wedding ceremony or similar event.

My husband and I both felt that Will did a great job. The music blended well into the background and could easily fit many different themes. He was very friendly and professional.

Will Dudley's music is very unique and beautiful. I have seen him in numerous venues, an NGO benefit, a wedding, and busking at a local farmer's market. In all settings his music seemd captivating and entirely appropriate. Depending on the demands of the the moment, he can draw you in and expose you to wonderful melodies, harmonies and rythm. Or, his music can provide soothing ambient background to allow for conviviality and conversation.

Will is an exceptional talent. His unconventional instrument, exceptional playing, and charisma make for an unforgettable performance. He played for a Tenth Anniversary Party that I was responsible for planning. He was definitely the highlight of the evening and I heard only positive reviews. He was punctual and had the obvious qualities of a professional musician, not just a hobbyist playing for fun.

I would hire him again in a heartbeat. You won't regret having him play at your event.

Will was super easy to work with, very accommodating and polite. His music set a beautiful ambiance for the pre- and post-ceremony gathering, as well as part of our ceremony itself.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
