Ensemble Connect by Fadi Kheir
Sandeep Das and Mike Block have collaborated for more than 15 years to bring different worlds of music together so that they seamlessly flow as one. In this concert, through improvisation and the tradition of learning music aurally, they collaborate with members of Ensemble Connect to achieve a sangam, a confluence of different musical ideas that join like tributaries to form a mighty river of music. The repertoire includes original compositions; traditional music from India, Nepal, and Greece; and adaptations of contemporary music from Finland, Norway, and the US.
