InChorus #10 - Shades of Sound - March in India



Alliance Francaise de Delhi in collaboration with Kalasetu presents
SHADES OF SOUND - In[Chorus] #10
A creative platform for rising artists 

For the 10th edition of In[Chorus], Kalasetu and the Alliance française of Delhi have welcomed three artists : the Parisian accordionist Noe Clerc, the Hindustani vocalist Ujwal Nagar and the percussionist Zaheen Khan.

Accordion is an emblematic instrument of the French music tradition: unique in its sound, versatile in its style, it is also close to the Indian harmonium. Marrying the rich sonority of virtuoso Noé Clerc with the tuneful voice of Indian classical vocalist Ujwal Nagar can only be a beautiful union ! Accompanied on tabla by Zaheen Khan, this trio promises to be a rare, interesting and ear blowing experience. It will also be a stimulating exchange between Western and Indian classical tradition.

                                                                 *******
