Event information

Guitar virtuoso Simon Thacker leads the Nava Rasa Ensemble, featuring nine of the UK’s finest Indian and Western classical musicians, to present 'Inner Octaves', a powerful and innovative programme exploring the confluence of Asian and Western cultures.

Also featuring renowned Carnatic violinist Jyotsna Srikanth, as well as tabla, string quartet, percussion and double bass, the Nava Rasa Ensemble’s 'Inner Octaves' programme is based around groundbreaking new concerti by two of today's most compelling music creators. Composer and music therapy pioneer Nigel Osborne has assimilated many elements of Indian music into his masterful modernist language and Shirish Korde’s music is an authentic presentation of his thorough Indian, Western classical and jazz training.

This project is supported by the National Lottery through the Scottish Arts Council Tune Up Music Touring Programme, and PRS Foundation.
