Cole Auditorium, Greenwich

Tickets: Please call Namaskaar 203.322.9862

Jin Hi Kim on Korean komungo with Miya Masaoka on Japanese koto and Samir Chatterjee on Indian Tabla will present a multimedia performance. The work begins with a contemplative hypnotic video Mandala and the ancient 4th century acoustic komungo that is rooted in Buddhist meditation. These three Asians virtuosi will connect different traditions and create a new Asian sound for a digital age.

Second half of this concert is a traditional North Indian classical music by Pandit Soumitra Lahiri on Indian Sitar, a name held in high esteem by the connoisseurs. His actual strength lies in presentation of the Ragas without compromising with their pristine character. Armed with many years of devotion to sitar resulting with many prestigious awards. Lahiri will perform with Samir Chatterjee on tabla.
