B.C. Manjunath & New European Ensemble

B.C. Manjunath and the New European Ensemble present a fusion of contemporary music and intricate Indian rhythms. Four young composers showcase new works in this premiere performance.

Indian percussionist B.C. Manjunath has the rare ability to break down even the most complex rhythms and explain them in a way that anyone can understand. However, playing them is a different story—something only brilliant musicians like Manjunath himself can do. This year, he has been working intensively with the musicians of the prestigious New European Ensemble. Four young composers have been given the opportunity to write new works for this unique combination of contemporary music and mesmerizing Indian rhythms, which will premiere tonight.PROGRAM Yi-Ting Lu - new work Martín Mayo - new work Federico Calcagno - new work Antonio Moreno Glazkov - new work
