    Great music from great musicians in the most intimate of spaces is what the Goldmark Front Room is all about. World class musicians, more used to playing concert halls than our tiny 60 seat auditorium, are coming to the gallery in Uppingham.

    We have been privileged to witness some magical performances from the likes of Richard Thompson, June Tabor, Sam Lee, This Is The Kit, Martin Simpson and many more. 

    There will be the occasional short notice big name gig. Make sure you're on our mailing list.

    About the Work

    We're excited to announce an intimate concert on 29th September 2026 by two virtuosos, Ablaye Cissoko (kora) and Cyrille Broto (diatonic accordion). In the UK for 2 shows only, one of them in the Goldmark Front Room, these two musicians will take us on a spiritual musical journey tinged with melancholy, a poetic and intense dialogue, and a magnificent lesson in music and humanism.

    Ablaye Cissoko, a poet and guardian of Senegalese memory, makes his kora sing as one would speak to an ancestor or a child, his angelic voice resonating with deep emotion. Cyrille Brotto, an explorer of diatonic soundscapes, weaves subtle textures with his accordion, balancing breath, dance, and mystery. Together, they create a music of the moment - free and delicate - rooted in listening, trust, and simplicity.

    This rare duo offers an invitation to slowness, beauty, and harmony. It is an inner music - one that awakens what unites rather than what divides. At its core, this performance celebrates connection: between cultures, timbres, silences, and shared paths.

    More than a concert, this exceptional evening unfolds like a suspended moment—a quiet exchange between two souls who understand each other without the need for words.

    'Music to clear the mind and inspire the senses...'

    'Masterful collaborations of kora and accordion... a gem from start to finish' Songlines UK "Top of the World"

    60 seats only. Doors at 7pm. Concert at 7.30pm.

    Goldmark have the most astonishing range, from the very affordable to the upper echelons of the market. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and really helpful. For anyone wanting to start a serious art collection within whatever budget this could be the best place to start.

    There is no other gallery like Goldmark. I'm always amazed at both the stock they hold and their ability to regularly source really quite special pieces of art. That, with their friendly, knowledgeable & utterly unpretentious style makes them a delight to visit & to buy from.

    Their delivery service is 100% reliable and the breadth of work displayed on their website pretty amazing. Above all, unlike other such dealers, I have never been under any pressure to buy. I recommend you give them a try.

    We first visited Goldmark approximately 6 years ago and immediately liked the informality compared to previous gallery experiences. It’s a great place to start or build on your collection. Everyone at Goldmark is very friendly, knowledgeable and will give you as much or as little time as you wish.

    We have bought prints and pots from Goldmark over many years and our house is the richer for the collections we have built up. The framing and delivery service are faultless.

    Their exhibitions are always prepared with great care, with videos and catalogs accompanying the shows. I have not been able to visit the gallery in person but all the Goldmark team is splendid and highly professional, which makes the virtual shopping a great experience.
