Adventures in Music: Indian Inspiration with Arun Ghosh

Enjoy an interactive concert led by British-Asian clarinettist Arun Ghosh, joined by Nilesh Gulhane on tabla, a type of Indian drum. This one-off performance makes connections between West Country folk music, Indian music and jazz, and will even feature a new piece of music composed especially for the event.

Expect meditative peaceful songs through to exciting rushing free-wheeling improvisations, plus well known sing-along classics and some unexpected covers. As with all events in the series, there will be audience participation including singing, clapping, and even the chance to join in with a group improvisation. The event will be a great introduction to Indian Raags (melodies) and Taals (rhythms). Bring along your own small toy instruments or use those provided to join in with the group improvisation.
