Awaaz: Sounds from South Asia
Blackheath Halls, Great Hall, SE3 9RQ , [Venue Details]Celebrate sounds from South Asia as Trinity Laban students perform an evening of music reflecting the rich diversity of Indian classical and contemporary performance, featuring Awaaz by Soumik Datta.
Soumik Datta is ‘one of the biggest new music talents in Britain’ (Vogue), the winner of the 2022 Aga Khan Music Award and a Trinity Laban alum and Honorary Fellow. He is a visionary musician with the ability to cross boundaries, cultures and art forms.
Awaaz was written for chamber choir, sarod and Indian percussion and in Datta’s words ‘explores the event, known as Partition, through the lens of the human voice. What if language was shattered into fragmented syllables? What if words and phrases were torn up like the lands of India and Pakistan? Could a libretto be made up of shards of words from Hindi, Urdu and Bengali? Stripped of meaning and identity, what emotion would this debris of sound carry?
In the first half of the concert, Trinity Laban Strings explore traditional and modern music from India, featuring student soloist Samyuktha Rajagopal.
