Overview

Featuring Utsav Lal, Sam Comerford, Ganavya, Winifred Horan (Nov 18), Dana Lyn (Nov 17 & 19), Nitin Mitta, and Sahar Romani. 

With the Asian American Writers' Workshop

The acclaimed Steinway Artist Utsav Lal returns to Irish Arts Center for a special presentation bringing together two living musical heritages—Indian classical and Irish traditional. Lal’s genre collisions and collaborations (here, with flute, whistle and sax player Sam Comerford, vocalist Ganavya, tabla player Nitin Mitta, and poet Sahar Romani) generate a riveting new sound, reflective of the complexities of identity—and connectivity of music—in a fluid world.
