About this collection
Whether you are looking for an intimate acoustic duo for a private gathering or a full-scale theatrical production, our work is defined by the conversation between instruments like the Sarod and the Nyckelharpa. We do not just perform; we build a bridge between cultures, often adapting our setup to fit everything from cozy garden venues to professional theatre stages.
Lilanoor is not just a band; it is an evolving ensemble of artists who believe that art is a shared language. This collection represents the core of our practice, where the ancient ragas of India harmonize with the Baroque structures of the West. If you have seen our name on a poster in South Delhi or heard about our tours in France, this collection defines our approach to storytelling.
We pride ourselves on versatility and sonic depth. Our 'Sangam' project blends the Sarod with the Theorbo, while our theatrical works like 'Buried Treasures' integrate puppetry and diverse musical genres. We prioritize sound quality, often requiring dedicated engineers for our complex acoustic mixes to ensure the delicate interplay between instruments is clear.
If you are planning an event, our shows come in various formats to suit your space. We offer intimate acoustic duos for living rooms or galleries, as well as grand, fully-produced ensembles for auditoriums. Our home base in South Extension II serves as both a teaching space and a creative lab where these ideas are born. We encourage you to reach out and discuss your venue; we have performed everywhere from formal stages to quiet outdoor gardens and are happy to advise on the technical requirements for your specific location.
Lilanoor
We are a French-Indian collective that treats every stage like a living room—warm, open, and full of storytelling. Whether we are jamming to Hindustani-Western fusion or performing a puppet-led musical tale, our goal is to help you befriend a sound rather than just listen to it.
