About this collection
Because we blend instruments like the Sarod and the Nyckelharpa, every performance requires a thoughtful sound check. We tailor the ensemble size and technical rider to your specific venue, so we prefer to connect early to ensure the acoustics of your space do justice to this fusion.
A Musical Dialogue
Sangam, Confluences is our signature exploration of sound. It is not just a concert, but a dialogue between two worlds. We pair the intricate, resonant tones of the Indian Sarod and Tabla with the distinct timbres of the European Theorbe and Nyckelharpa. Our repertoire spans 17th-century madrigals, Italian and English arias, and traditional Hindustani compositions, all woven together with original arrangements.
Choosing Your Format
We adapt our ensemble to fit the scale and intimacy of your gathering:
- Intimate Acoustic Duo: Perfect for smaller settings, focusing on the raw connection between voice and rare instruments like the Accordion or Nyckelharpa.
- Fusion Concert Trio/Quartet: A structured performance that highlights the interplay between Eastern and Western musical traditions, ideal for auditoriums or cultural venues.
- Theatrical Grand Production: A full-scale 6-artist experience, complete with shadow puppetry, video projections, and a dedicated light designer. This format requires a venue that can be darkened and offers enough stage depth for our visual setup.
Practical Details
Whether you are hosting an intimate gallery event in South Delhi or a large-scale festival, our logistics follow the performance size. Our grand productions include a full technical crew—lighting designer, sound engineer, and stage manager—to manage the complexity of the performance. For smaller acoustic sets, we provide the talent while collaborating with your venue's sound team. We are happy to discuss the technical requirements once we understand your space and the nature of your event.
