“Mr. Gaskell presented to over 150 children and parents at my library. He was pleasant and patient with the children and thoroughly engaged them in the sounds and workings of the kora. He displayed passion for the music and I especially like that he described the origin and cultural significance of each song he presented. I recommend Mr. Gaskell to any school or library looking to book a quality music program.” -Tara McCann, youth services librarian, Belleville Area District Library, Belleville, MI.

“Sean Gaskell’s performance at our library was highly enjoyable and of high quality. His skill and style helped communicate to families the history and cultural significance of the kora. The music is soothing and engaging for all ages. We highly recommend him and we look forward to having him back.” -Marissa Bazan, librarian, Lewis and Clark Library, Helena, MT

“We brought Sean Gaskell in to Oak Point to perform for our residents. He was easy to work with and provided a top notch entertaining program. Not only did he perform music on the kora, he explained the history of the instrument as well as his personal experience in learning this unique craft. He also took time answer questions at the end of the evening. Sean was well received by the audience and provided an exciting, as well as educational, program. I received nothing but positive feedback from our residents who were in attendance. I look forward to working with Sean again the future.” -Eric Hurt, social coordinator, Oak Point Senior Living, Boston, MA
