Zeroclassikal: Divergence with William Rees Hoffman and Deepa Nair Rasiya & Mishra

A project exploring south Asian classical music in change, progress, transition and influence with bold ideas and approaches, featuring new works by William Rees Hofman and Deepa Nair Raiya & Mishra. Baadal Dvaar se Nazar – A Glimpse Through the Cloud Door

WILLIAM REES HOFMANN – A new work for sarod and viola

Baadal .. explores both tradition and solitude through the dhrupad idiom on the sarod, and openness and experimentation through explorations of consonance, dissonance, harmony, timbre, and resonance on the viola. (Untitled )

DEEPA NAIR RASIYA AND MISHRA: Samaroh

 A celebration of Hindustani vocal music traditions with a re-imagined framework for instrumental accompaniment.

Our repertoire undertakes a journey exploring various compositional formats in south Asian  classical vocal music such as Thumri/ Dadra, Khayal- bandish, Tarana etc, with original sections written specifically to showcase the relevance and application of alternative instrumental arrangements to re-imagine traditional accompaniment structures. The four pieces take us through soaring, majestic strains of Raag Shree, a soothing melodious Bageshri,  and onto the joys of a lighter folk piece in Pahadi and a final concluding Bhairavi – all uniquely wrapped in textures of diverse instruments such as the banjo, dobro, low whistle, guitar, santoor, piano and hand percussion. These pieces have been carefully crafted so as to not distort the core characteristics and distinguishing features of South Asian classical music, but to draw out its potentiality in a wider context.

Pay What You Decide

All our events are Pay What You Decide, which means you don’t have to pay until after you have seen the event. We want to encourage more people to come and see events at Kala Sangam, more often.

Pay What You Decide not only allows you to pay what you can afford, rather than a fixed ticket price, but also removes the financial risk of buying a ticket for an event in advance without knowing whether you are going to enjoy it or not.

Tickets are available to book in advance as usual, but there is no obligation for you to pay until after you have seen the event. You can then decide on a price which you think is suitable based on your experience, which means if you haven’t enjoyed it at all, you don’t have to pay anything.

Please ensure you have arrived and collected your tickets 15 minutes before the event starts in order to secure your seats. At the end of the show, you can decide what to pay, either by cash or card on the door.

If you have ANY coronavirus symptoms, please DO NOT attend.

This event will take place following any social distancing requirements in place at the time. Temperature checks, hand sanitisation and mask wearing will be used  and encouraged where appropriate
