Arrive from 7:15 pm, grab a light bite of authentic South Asian desi street food (available to purchase) and soak in the atmosphere before the music begins. The evening premieres a bold collaboration between The Tapi Project from India and The Third Orchestra from the UK – a genre-defying fusion of folk, indie, jazz, Indian classical and contemporary sounds. Think soulful storytelling, expansive improvisation, and global rhythms that blur borders and reimagine tradition. Musicians Swati Minaxi, Yogendra Saniyawala, Gaurav Kapadia, and Biju Nambiar from Tapi Project join Kalia Lyraki, Pete, Shri Sriram, Peter Wiegold, and Antonio Romero from Third Orchestra for a rare and unforgettable sonic journey.
