CAMDEN — Bay Chamber welcomes back guitarist Derek Gripper on Wednesday, Nov. 6, at 7 p.m., in Hammer Hall.

Back by popular demand, Gripper returns to Bay Chamber to present “A New African String Theory” an immersive program that bridges continents and genres.

"As a globally renowned South African guitarist, Gripper has rewritten the narrative of classical guitar by infusing it with the sounds of the West African kora," said Bay Chamber, in a news release.

In recent years, Gripper’s work has led him to collaborate with a broad range of musicians who also derive great inspiration from world music, including classical guitarist John Williams.
