Sona Jobarteh brings African Kora magic to the Prinzregententheater
On April 17, 2026, the fine architecture of a historic concert hall meets the vast yet intimate sound world of Sona Jobarteh at the Prinzregententheater in Munich. The Kora virtuoso, singer, composer, and activist combines West African tradition with modern stage performance and is one of the defining voices in her field.

An evening between tradition, precision, and warmth
Jobarteh's concerts thrive on controlled dynamics, crystal-clear articulation, and a presence that envelops even large venues in concentrated silence. Her training in classical composition, her background in Mande music, and her international stage work shape a concert experience that combines craft depth and emotional openness. In Munich, an evening emerges for listeners who appreciate fine arrangements, strong melodies, and an elegant live atmosphere. ([sonajobarteh.com](https://sonajobarteh.com/biography))
The Kora as the main character
The special allure lies in the Kora itself: the sonorous string instrument that, in Jobarteh's hands, feels neither museum-like but rather alive, rhythmic, and contemporary. According to her official biography, she has been working for years on her own artistic language that bridges African tradition, composition, and social statements. This is precisely where the tension of such evenings arises: delicate ornamentation, driving grooves, and a voice that effortlessly fills the space.

What makes this concert evening special
Sona Jobarteh represents musical sovereignty, cultural depth, and a stage presence without pretense. International critics highlight her role as the first successfully professional Kora player from a griotic lineage; at the same time, her work as an educator and activist emphasizes the content dimension of her creations. Those who attend in Munich will experience not just a concert but a focused live experience between world music, art song, and delicate concert dramaturgy.
