Angélique Kidjo live in City of Troy

Experience Angélique Kidjo live on September 12th

Angélique Kidjo will perform at the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall in Troy, New York on September 12, 2026. Kidjo is a Beninese singer-songwriter known for her diverse musical style, often described as Afrobeat, jazz, R&B, funk, and traditional Beninese music influences. Her work frequently incorporates elements of West African polyrhythms with contemporary sounds and lyrical themes addressing social and political issues alongside personal narratives. She sings in multiple languages including Fon, Yoruba, French and English.

The Troy Savings Bank Music Hall is a historic venue completed in 1875. Originally constructed to house the Troy Savings Bank and provide a public hall, it’s renowned for its exceptional acoustics – largely attributed to its unique arched ceiling constructed without internal supports. The hall quickly became a prominent performance space attracting nationally and internationally recognized artists during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It underwent significant restoration work in the 1990s to preserve its original architectural features and improve its functionality as a concert venue. Today it continues to host a variety of performances including concerts, lectures, and community events.
