Songs of the Dawn

Bhagwati

Past event
Photo of Constantinople

Constantinople travels along the great silk trade routes to India and recreates a world of sound where echoes of the intense musical dialogue between Iran and Northern India take us to new imaginary realms.

The sublime poems of Kebir and Amir Khosrow come to life through our musicians’ inspired singing and improvisation. Our guests from India, Dhruba Ghosh - one of the world’s great sarangi virtuosos - and Ravi Naimpally on tablas, will be joining our ensemble, along with composer Sandeep Bhagwati, who has composed a new work especially for this concert.
