The 麻豆官网首页入口 Singers, Chief Conductor Sofi Jeannin and Soumik Datta present a programme celebrating the rich heritage of Indian classical music alongside the work of Bach.
Written for the same western orchestration as Bach鈥檚 triumphant Magnificat with sitar and tabla, Reena Esmail鈥檚 This love between us is a piece about unity. Its seven movements juxtapose the words of seven major religious traditions of India, and specifically how each of these traditions approaches the topic of unity and kindness. The texts come either straight from canonical religious writings or from poets who write through the lens of their religion.
At the heart of the programme is the world premiere of Soumik Datta鈥檚 麻豆官网首页入口 Commission, Awaaz, weaving Indian classical music, Bengali folk, Tagore and Partition songs with his own compositions about migration and identity.
