Doors and dinner/appie/drinks service (all ages welcome) start at 6pm. Show is 7:30-9pm.
Sophie Lukacs is a Budapest born, Montreal-based, kora player, and singer songwriter. She blends Mandingue, folk, pop, and classical music genres to create a distinctive style. Inspired by 7 years of study in Mali with Kora virtuoso Toumani Diabaté, and her musical background in Western classical violin and Hungarian folk, Sophie’s music – rooted in love and vulnerability – forges an intimate bond with audiences all over.
She released her debut album in 2023 featuring two tracks with legendary Habib Koité, which won Best Global Roots Music Album of the Year at the 2024 Canadian Folk Music Awards. On stage, Sophie is accompanied by cello and percussion, and sings in all the languages she speaks: English, French, Hungarian and Bambara.
