Adventures in Music for the Under 5s - Indian Inspiration

Event information

Come and enjoy an interactive concert led by British-Asian clarinettist Arun Ghosh, joined by Nilesh Gulhane on tabla, a type of Indian drum.

This one-off performance makes connections between West Country folk music, Indian music and jazz, and will even feature a new piece of music composed especially for the event. Expect meditative peaceful songs through to exciting rushing free-wheeling improvisations, plus well known sing-along classics and some unexpected covers.

As with all events in the series, there will be audience participation including singing, clapping, and even the chance to join in with a group improvisation. The event will be a great introduction to Indian Raags (melodies) and Taals (rhythms). Bring along your own small toy instruments or use those provided to join in with the group improvisation
