Global Rhythms to perform at Chennai

This years curtains at IIT-Madras Saarang would be opened by a group of artists called Global Rhythms.

Global Rhythms was conceived in 1996 by Miami alumnus Srinivas Krishnan. Its mission is to perform ethnic music from non-western cultures using Western instruments.

The group is open to all students at Miami University with an interest in world music and has grown from just five members in its first year to include over thirty instrumentalists and Miami’s Collegiate Chorale.

To date, Global Rhythms has performed music from Africa, Australia, the Caribbean, Eastern Europe, North and South America, and the Middle East, with a particular emphasis on both the classical and popular music of India.

The show would be held on 25th Jan at the IIT Campus here in Chennai and surprisingly enough, the entry would be free.

So all music lovers of Chennai know where to head this Republic day eve. A cross-cultural music treat ....Don't miss this.
