Amjad Ali Khan Samaagam | A Concerto for Sarod, Concertante Group and String Orchestra
\nKamala Sankaram | Aria for Soprano from Taking Up Serpents
\nDmitri Shostakovich | Chamber Symphony in C Minor, Op. 110a<\/p>\n

Featuring Mandala Ensemble artists Ashwaty Chennat, Colin Mascarenhas and Misha Talapatra in a classical dance performance.<\/p>\n

Samaagam means confluence \u2013 a flowing together or a gathering to celebrate. Master sarod player Amjad Ali Khan, scion of a family of sarod musicians in central India, composed Samaagam to entwine and rejoice in the classical music cultures of West and East. This stunning collaborative work creates an exhilarating bond of both traditions. Sankaram\u2019s atmospheric aria from the opera Taking Up Serpents also brings together diverse conventions, depicting a young woman\u2019s reunion with her estranged family at her father\u2019s deathbed. And Shostakovich in his Chamber Symphony mourns for his kin, his countrymen, and himself at a difficult time in his life. Weaving together quotations from his previous works, the symphony \u201cis so powerful that when I was writing it, tears flowed as freely as water\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[],"class_list":["post-18906","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nUnity:
